Wedding Weight-Loss: Fun Fall Festivities
After my Sunday training session with Bonne Marcus, I was sore until Wednesday. I pushed through and worked out on Tuesday and Wednesday, though. On Tuesday, my workout consisted of a spin class in the morning for 45 minutes, and when I got home from work, I went through the routine Bonne had given me again. The routine included squats, lunges, step ups, and a bunch of arm exercises using a body bar and dumbbells. It's a true full body workout. On Wednesday, I just took another spin class for cardio. It wasn't a great week for me workout-wise; I had a busy week, which I know is no excuse, but unfortunately I used it anyway.
My favorite meal of the week was turkey chili that was cooked in the crockpot. A warm bowl of chili is perfect on a crisp fall night, and I made a skinny version, so it wasn't too fattening. You can find the recipe here from Skinnytaste.

Honda Gives One Couple An Amazing Wedding Surprise
As a family of loyal Honda drivers (they own more than 20 between all of their relatives), Mairead and Kevin knew they wanted to include Hondas somehow in their big day. When they asked a local dealer to loan them three CR-Vs for bridal party transportation, the company had something much bigger in mind.
Honda sent eight cars, with each filled with an amazing surprise: The band they saw on their first date, a troupe of Irish step dancers, tons of registry gifts, and — the best surprise of all — Honda flew in their relatives from Ireland who previously could not attend the wedding.
Try not to tear up as you watch this video:

The Perfect Match: Kidney Transplant Leads to Marriage

All of us newlyweds promise to love our spouses in sickness and in health, but one Indiana couple's amazing story was actually born from the ultimate sacrifice: Donating an organ to a stranger.
Chelsea Clair, 26, met Kyle Froelich, 23, at a car show four years ago. He was diagnosed with a fatal kidney disorder when he was 12 years old, and doctors estimated that the then-senior in high school only had one more year to live unless he could obtain a successful kidney transplant. Many of his family members and friends were tested, but none proved to be a perfect match.
That is, until he met Clair, who heard his story through a family friend, and declared on the spot that she would give him her kidney. Froelich had guarded himself from getting his hopes up — according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, only slightly more than 50% of people on the national waiting list receive an organ within five years — but a month later, test results gave them the green light to move forward with a transplant.
Clair told ABC News that her father passed away from cancer having never received the bone marrow transplant that could have potentially saved his life, so she felt a personal connection to Froelich. "I just felt like I would have wanted somebody to step up [for my father], so I just wanted to help him," she says.
