Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
I’m on anti-nausea medication.
And I couldn’t be happier.
I’m marrying the man of my dreams tomorrow!!!
My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

Love your positive attitude! If anything, I think it’s particularly touching that you’ll be pledging your love to each other in the midst of a minor health issue.
Ten days before her wedding, my good friend was hospitalized with a serious issue and very quickly lost 15lbs that she did not need to lose. She was already at her wedding site, six hours from her fiance. When he heard she was in the hospital, he hopped in the car with their dog in the middle of the night and headed up to see her. While driving, he was hit by a drunk driver. Luckily, he and the dog survived, but they broken bones (the dog broke a let, the fiance broke his arm and had severe bruising to his face). They got married as scheduled, she in a gown that was now swimming on her, and he with the sling he earned trying to make sure she was okay, and it was honestly the most touching, beautiful ceremony watching them commit themselves to one another after such recent turmoil. Six years and one set of boy/girl twins later, they are still so happy together 🙂
HAVE FUN TOMORROW!! You will be amazingly gorgeous no matter what 🙂
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says

Congratulations on getting married, you’ll have lifetime to look back on this together and laugh!
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
Congrats Julie! Marrying the man of your dreams is what it’s all about! Pink eye and food poisoning just add to the memories and make your stories that much better! CHEERS!
Lissy says
aw! Well feel better! And congrats!
Imwaytoobusy says
I couldn’t resist adding to all of your well-wishes. You are one of my favorite bloggers! I agree with Jamie, you are going to have one memorable day 🙂 and will have a blast no matter what!
Gracie (complicated day) says
From your pharmacist: Buy Visine for red eyes. It won’t help your pink eye but it will temporarily reduce the redness by constricting blood vessels.
HAPPY WEDDING!
Sara says
So sorry you had to deal with feeling sick 🙁 But you’ll be STUNNING tomorrow & your groom and you will be amazing <3. REALLY good tip for pink eye: get clear eyes red eye relief drops (the kind that stoners use all day haha) and use just a little while before the wedding. It will eliminate the redness that pink eye causes; just don't use it all day because it could irritate your eye more. I hope your stomach settles and regardless of any eyeball situation you will look gorgeous!!!!
Emily says
Julie,
I have been a silent reader for awhile now, but I feel I have to speak up today. I got married earlier this year and after however many months of praying that everything would be perfect on our wedding day (and netti-potting, vitamin c, etc.), I had a horrible cold, barely had a voice, and was hopped up on Sudafed on our January wedding day. But despite all of that, it was easily the best day of my life. You will be a beautiful bride tomorrow when you begin your new life as a married woman! Take it all in and enjoy every moment! And feel better- as long as you’re doing your eyedrops and taking your nausea pills, you should be doing much better by tomorrow. Warm compresses to your eyes should help too!
Jae says
Congrats!
Laurie says
You have agreat attitude! I hope you feel better real soon! You will have a wonderful wedding! Congratulations to you and Ryan!
Ashley says

Ebru says
Happy wedding Julie! I hope everything will be more amazing than you ever imagined! Looking forward to reading all about your special day, congratulations!!!! 🙂
Kyla says
I hope you are feeling better.
If it makes you feel better I have a ruptured blood vessel in my eye the day of the wedding but its was an incredible day anyways.
You ‘ll be a beautiful bride and wishing you both all the best for the day!
Julie says
Aww, I hope you feel much better by tomorrow. And even if you don’t, it’ll make a great story. : )
Ashley says
Congratulations Julie!! You will be a beautiful bride! Enjoy tomorrow! 🙂
Dee says
Julie I’m crossing my fingers that you will be all better tomorrow! I’ve followed you since you started this blog, and wish you nothing but the best! Have an amazing day tomorrow 🙂
