My Bikini Has Gotten Bigger |
Wow, how the time flies! It seems like we just got started and now it’s almost over. At first my bikini was just to get more energy after having a hellish pregnancy and even worse labor and post partum recovery. Now my bikini has gotten even bigger…. I actualy met my primary goal after the first phase. Now I don’t find myself dragging throughout the whole day, just part of it - what can I say I have a six month old baby. It wasn’t easy though because those workouts in the beginning were killer! I had been virtually sedentary for over a year and I can’t tell you how I ached. Today, I look forward to checking off all the tasks I have on my daily list of things to do because I have the energy and strength that I didn’t have before. Moreover, getting myself onto a regimented eating schedule, beginning with a larger breakfast, was just as big a challenge as it was to ‘get moving,’ but I seem to have mastered that for the most part. Now that I have dropped several dress sizes I think I’m going to expand my bikini from my original size 18 to a size 6. Currently I’m at a 12 but I plan on continuing this lifestyle until my mission is accomplished. Who knows maybe after I achieve a size 6, I’ll expand my bikini to perhaps something else.

A group of my girlfriends decided that we would reward ourselves every Friday by going out to lunch. We bring our lunch Monday - Thursday. Each one of us has to bring lunch for the group and it has to be healthy. For example I brought chicken salad this week with whole wheat pita’s or bread and fruit. On Friday’s we go out to lunch any where we want. We do have restrictions. No dessert and no regular pop. It gives us something to look forward to and when I eat with the same group I make better choices. We started making changes in the way we eat two weeks ago and most of us have lost at least 5 pounds in two weeks.
