Bikini or Bust!!

I started last winter with my weight tipping the scales at 230 lbs.  NEVER in a million years did I picture myself THIS fat.  I was mortified.  I felt like a big, ugly, clumsy, unattractive lout.  Didn't feel feminine or lovely at all.

So my goal over the past year has been--of course--to lose all the pudge.  And I've lost between 15-20 lbs, which has been...kind of an accident, as I haven't been truly dieting or on an exercise regimine.  I've just managed to eat a little less and keep a little more active.

I'm dating a skinny-minny man who tops off at 165 and is 6 feet tall.  You can understand how I feel like a walrus with him, just a bit...

Hence my determination to really budge the pudge--and get into a BIKINI.  YES.  A Bikini. 

In order to motivate myself...

All the suits pictured above are from Victoria's Secret.  Which one do you like best?  (I posted some one-pieces and tankinis just in case I don't meet my goal...lol).

Lazy Saturday

Sometimes you just need a lazy day. 
Sleeping in... my definition of "sleeping in"?  Any time past 9 a.m.! Haha.  So today I slept in until 10. 
Breakfast?  Horrible food:  toaster streusel, cereal & yogurt.  SO bad for me!  But soo yummy. I'm evil.
Day's activities so far??  Movies:  Adam Sandler's "Mr. Deeds"  (awful movie but stupidly hilarious) and now Meryl Streep's "Mama Mia!", which, I must say is one of my favorites.  Bright colors, adorable fun, summery outfits, sun & sun-bleached hair, ABBA music, and--it's such a girl movie! Oh.  Plus hunky men dancing around the beaches half-naked?  Oof. How can you go wrong?  Anyway.  I digress.  Ha!

This is a lazy day indeed...

Welcome Back!

Wow, has it been a long time.  Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years - they all flew by!

Here I am sitting at my desk in February, looking at bright blue Vermont skies and a fresh dumping of snow from our latest snow storm.

Hope everyone out in the blogosphere has been enjoying winter, as I have.

I look forward to posting in the near future!

Until then.
