Please note: This is not me and this is not my body. But this is my new bathing suit, and I'm serious about it.
We joined the Y back in April because exercising at home just wasn't working for me. In addition to wanting to be fitter and feel better, I also wanted to lose about ten pounds. Things have been going rather well, I've worked up to doing an hour of cardio 4 or 5 days a week plus weights when I don't have to rush to pick the kids up from childcare. I'm very pleased with the way my arms and shoulders and back are looking, and I've lost two pounds. Two pounds doesn't seem like a lot, but I have a theory about that. For one, I'm fairly certain that I'm not getting enough calories, and I'm working on that, but I'm actually finding it hard to eat more food. For another, I'm smack dab in the middle of the healthy weight range for my height, and I think it's harder to lose weight when you aren't overweight to begin with.
Anyway, the one thing that I'm not happy with is my midsection, so this bathing suit is my way of reminding myself to eat one Lifesaver instead of half a bag and to kick my workouts into high gear. It's either that or Lipo-Dissolve, and the first option doesn't involve needles and is way cheaper.
Besides, it's a cute suit and as I'm neither pregnant nor lactating, I figure it's about time.
Motivation--It's green and white and comes in two pieces.

I can't do the exercise in public thing. What if someone sees me? I can't look like I'm suffering! I need to look cool all the time! That's why I started smoking. That's also why I quit smoking.
That is some awesome motivation! I'm sure you'll look awesome in it.
Sigh. Bikinis. Sigh. Not any time soon, sadly. But I'm on the right track, I've lost 10 pounds and I'm working out like a dog. If I could just get my diet on track, I'd be a supermodel.
Are you going to post a picture of yourself in it once you are there?
