Water Works

Keep a 64-ounce container of water on your desk and drink it throughout the workday. Even slight dehydration can make you feel run down and less energetic.

Sugar High

How to prevent fainting? Drink a glass of orange juice, which will give your blood sugar a boost before you walk down the aisle.

Weight Watchers

Switch your workout regime dramatically every few weeks. You'll lose more weight than if you stick to the same program.

For Flat Abs

To avoid bloating, stay away from the following foods the day before the wedding: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, chewing gum, soda, soup, beans, lettuce, brussels sprouts, peas and high-fiber cereals.

An easy way to kick the cravings? Switch the TV channel from cooking shows to Access Hollywood.

Fitness First

Your fitness routine is often the first to go when things get hectic. Prevent this by treating your time at the gym as you would an appointment with a vendor—pencil it into your wedding planner. After your workout, jot down when you worked out and what you did. Looking back on what you've accomplished, you'll feel great!

Custom Workout

Don't have a workout routine? Hire a personal trainer who can break bad habits and create a tailored workout for you.

Countdown

How to stay calm as you walk down the aisle? At your rehearsal, count the number of steps it takes you to reach the altar; on your wedding day, count down the steps in your head. You'll be focused on the numbers—not your nerves.

Carb-Conscious

Cut down on refined carbs, but make sure to keep whole-grain carbs in your diet—they're the fuel that your brain, your body, and your mood need to work efficiently. They also pack tons of fiber, which will help curb snacking by making you feel fuller longer.

Buddy System

Surround yourself with people who support your fitness goals. Partner with a friend for a weekly jog, yoga class, or some other activity to stay motivated.

Breakfast Break

Eat every meal, including breakfast, to beat food cravings that can cause weight gain. Try a small bowl of whole-grain cereal with nonfat milk and a glass of orange juice or some fruit.

Basic Training

Set specific goals for your pre-wedding workout, whether you want to lose ten pounds or just tone up. Write down your goals and record your progress in a journal.

Beat Stress

Eat two servings of fruits and vegetables per meal: These healthy foods contain antioxidants that help fight the negative impact of stress on your body.

From Modern Bride Colorado

Snack Attack

Take healthy snacks with you when you run errands. A nutritious stash will keep you from turning to a vending machine (or worse, a fast-food restaurant) to satisfy hunger.

Night Bite

Eat a light meal instead of a heavy dinner―you'll sleep better. Have a small, all-carb snack like an English muffin with honey about 45 minutes before bedtime if you're still hungry.
