Since June turned out to be a total flop for me, I need some motivation.
I just booked a ticket to see one of my very best friends in Puerto Rico the last weekend in August. We haven't seen each other since last October, and I was at least 25 lbs. heavier then.
I also bought a bathing suit for the first time in forever. The last one I had was a size 24 -- and was what I affectionately refer to as my moo-moo suit -- a 2 piece suit that had oversize briefs with a little skirt and a top that ballooned out and over the briefs. I looked like a buoy out in the water...
Anyway, I went shopping with a friend last Thursday [the new apartment-guest] and I bought a real 2 piece, in a size 16!!! Now, it's no bikini: it's a shirt and brief but it's a normal/non-skirt brief. I feel quite self conscious in it --although I think my thighs are getting more muscular and less like cottage cheese It's still a bit tight in the b00b area as well.
So I am setting up a mini-goal for myself for the first time ever. By August 21st, the weekend before my trip, I would like to not only have lost 10 lbs., but look leaner -- and be toned.
I don't know how many lbs. = going down a size for me. Although I guess I could figure that out [just did and it's 11]. Even better would be shrinking so that the suit doesn't fit!!! So I am totally keeping the tags ON it. Unless I wear it before August.
Anyway, I am rambling because I just got motivated again after a very, very high cheat weekend [see my online journal].
Anyone else have any mini-goals?
