Congratulations, Limoncello! Sounds like your fiance is a do-right, all-night man, and good for you for focusing on your fitness rather than doing some wacky crash diet to fit into an abstract notion of a "perfect" wedding dress. That always seems like such a miserable way to start off a marriage. Weddings are stressful enough without adding physical torture to the mix.

You've gotten your steps up damn quickly too. That's awesome. I've found walking to be unexpectedly fulfilling. You actually get more energized the more you do instead of crashing, and you get so much thinking done. I invented several recipes on walks that are now staples.
