Women's Beach Living Solid Mini SwimMini™ from Lands' End

Okay, this is what I bought. So I kinda cheated a little, the skirt will help hide the thigh issues.

Mere- hey but a bikini is a BIKINI! I do wear them but I probably shouldn't? I wore one at the beach last year and Riley was what....7 months. I bet you will look great!

Heather-I did not get stretch marks but I know plenty of wmen that have...Jsut look at them like a war wound...Sorry you got them but oh so glad you did. You have a wonderful trophy!

Jenna- WOOHOO to almost getting in your jeans again. Trying them on is a motivator! You are doing great! I totally get how you feel right now!

I have GOT to work out today! No excuses after all those snacks yesterdya and dh wants to get pizza for the Super Bowl..So I need to do extra before eating that. I feel like somedays I take two steps back...Some one sprinkle me with food willpower I have to be SLAMMIN by beach time! A girl can dream right?

Heather and Jenna-keep up the good work girls!

Mere-cute bikini!! I always have to wear those board shorts when I wear one to cover my "problem areas" lol!

Karen-btw You're not trying to lose weight are you, just maintain?? Anyway, you will probably be ok eating super bowl goodies with all the working out you do!

I'm already in my work out clothes and will be doing a workout soon! I ate badly last night-evenings are my weakest time BUT I'm going to keep up at it, and I know I will get there!

I'm afraid to say it, but I'm not so worried about stretch marks as I am about cellulite

Girl, thanks for listening and being such a motivation!!!

Ok, so I did my treadmill workout last night! Just 35 minutes, but I had the incline at 5 and I did over 2 miles. YAY for a good workout!

Heather~ WTG on your workout!!!

Ok, I gotta go get mine over with for today!

__________________

Got the workout in....Did a Allstar workout...For those of you taht watch Fit TV that is a good one..One hour of cardio and weights then I did 6 mile weight loss program on the bike..I have been avoiding my treadmill lately..It is boring to run inside to me...I think it is supposed to be 55 tomorrow maybe I can go for a three or four mile run that would be great!

Talk to you girls lately...Oh and Heather...I am REALLY bad at portion control.

Bina I would like to lose an additional five pounds but I need the weight to SHIFT to the right places..LOL

__________________

Karen - I hear you on the shifting! I tend to gain weight in my butt, hips, and thighs, but lose it out of my boobs and arms. *sigh* So I can get to my goal weight and still have the thigh issues!

Karen-portion control, what's that?

I did my 1hr body by Gilad workout. I was soo wanting to skip it, but I made myself do it and of course feel so much better!

It's beautiful outside so hopefully we can all go on a family walk later on!

Ok, girls! I did my turbo jam workout! Woo-hoo! YAY for good cardio. Then DH and I did another type of workout. DTD does burn calories, right?

Mere~ Cute bikini! I will NEVER wear one. WAY too many stretch marks! Can't wait to see a pic of you in it when you get to your goal weight!

Heather~ I'm with you on the stretch marks....but that's ok. I got Jaicee out of them!

__________________

Jenna- WTG on the workoutS. LOL, yes DTD does burn calories!

Bina- It's raining here-yuck. I can't wait till it warms up so we can go on walks. Yay for working out!

Karen- Your are always on top of working out!! That's great! Have fun tonight!!

Ok, so I did 45 minutes of cardio. I also did a leg workout. I had those gumby legs like Jenna said!

So, my goal for this week is to workout 4 days. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The other days, I may do my Pilates video if I have time.

GL this week girls!

Awesome Heather! My stretch marks won't see the light of day either. LOL

I feel like I ate so bad yesterday. In retrospect, it wasn't really a bad eating day for most people. I just ate a fairly big lunch and I haven't done that in a few days. I can feel it now - the lots of mini-meals is definately much better for me. Hopefully I can really focus this week and report some weight loss on Friday.
Edit: I don't think my ticker is right. I thought I made a new one on Friday and it said that I had lost 2lbs total, but it still says 1.5. Maybe I just don't remember right. Oh well, I guess it will look like I lost a lot this week if I get to change it this Friday.

Kelly - I think it was a law to overeat yesterday. I know I had too much.

I'm exercising tonight!

UGGGGGGGGGGH I don't even want to TALK about what I ate much less type it. BADDDDDDDDD girl I was! BUt today is a new day and hopefully I will get RIley down for nap and get to WORK! Supposed to be warmer today so I may get outside. Dh has a lunch meeting and a dinner meeting so that doesn't leave much mommy time. Today and tomorrow that is his schedule then Wed I have OT and PT that morning a play meeting at Carter's school at 2 and have to be at work at church by 3:30 so I am going to be struggling this week to find TIME> May have to get back up at 6. NOt thrilled but I CAN do it!

OKay girls have a feel good day! Again don't stress too much over the snacks yesterday but instead focus on THIS day and week! You are all doing great!

I'm with you on the overeating at the super bowl party. We had bacon wrapped dates.. what isn't good wrapped in bacon? LOL I did do a 1.8 mile hike yesterday with Dh, Charlie and our dogs. We had a great time. I will find some time to excercise today even if it is after Charlie is in bed tonight.

Keep it up ladies!
