All of my life I have been too embarrassed to be seen in anything less than a tankini and shorts...so I have decided that this summer is going to be the summer of the bikini!
I figure I have enough time to actual meet this goal. I need to lose 42 lbs by May 20th, which is my birthday and also Victoria Day celebrations in Canada. It is a huge camping weekend and it is usually the first weekend that the pool is open. That gives me 7 months to accomplish the weight loss and also toning up so that I am not thin but giggly. If I lost two pounds a week until the new year that would be 14lbs. Then I would only have 28lbs to go. Then if I continued to lose 2 lbs a week I would lose those 28lbs by mid-April.
I think this is a reasonable goal. It even gives me about a month leeway in case things don't work out as smoothly as planned. When I was really determined in September I was losing 3lbs a week, so I think 2lbs is doable.
I am also hoping to get a breast reduction by next summer. This would be amazing because right now I wear an E cup and NO bathing suits fit my upper body. Personally I think I look vulgar, as one of my friends put it when we were trying on bikinis in a store "HELLO Pamela Anderson"...I have not tried on a triangle top bikini since.
Whoo! I am soo pumped and very proud of myself for setting realistic goals. I have a tendency toward self-destruction, but I want to be able to say I did this the healthy way...for the first time in my life. We'll see how it goes...
I am so jealous!! I cannot find a bikini or tankini in this godforsaken country that fits a DD cup (POP, hello boys!!) *Shudder*
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! It is summer here now, so I'll try to head some good weather up north for you. It should get there by may XD
that goal sounds reasonable! i suppose it's a good idea to already be thinking about the next "bikini" season, as much as i dread it already!
ReplyDeletethis is my new goal as well - look good in a bikini.
Well, I figure if I start this early then I won't have to have as many freak outs, and I can pace my weight loss a little. Usually I start in January, or March...and then I just freak out, stop eating completely and end up stuck in a binge and restrict mode and in the end lose nothing. I am trying really hard to not go back to old ways completely...I think it is going to be a lot harder than I think.
