I am a girl who does whatever she can to avoid getting into a swimsuit. I can just about bear it when I go for a swim at the gym but really that's wear I draw the line.
And a bikini is just not something that happens. Ever.
Even when I was in Bali I wore shorts over my swimmers. And generally I avoid beach holidays. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like spending their holiday relaxing on a beach or by a pool. Please don't judge me.
So when one of my closest friends told me she was getting married I squealed with joy.
And when she told me she was having her bachelorette in Vegas (American girls don't know what the hell a hen do is) I got excited.
But when she uttered the words "I just want to hang out by the pool with my girlfriends" my heart sank.
Oh dear lord. In late April I am going to have to be in a fit physical state to get myself into a swimsuit.
So that's enough time, right? If I start now and forget about eating anything too naughty over Christmas (which I fear might not happen).
I don't need to be a stick or anything, but just quite a lot less jiggly. It doesn't help that I am the colour of skimmed milk.
But if I manage it I think I might treat myself to a lovely swimsuit (I can't even think of a bikini). And hopefully that will provide some inspiration too.

Wish me luck. Eeek!
i know how you feel; every winter i put on 5-20 lbs and it drives me nuts, especially when spring comes and i have to shed layers of clothes. i eat clean and exercize the rest of the year, but when winter comes, i choose practicality over fashion and hide under sweaters, hence the weight gain.
ReplyDeletei think you can tone up in time for April, you just have to find motivation. you should check bodyrock.tv, they have great exercises and it only takes 15 minutes daily (:
