Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Here's the deal. I'm trying to lose 20 pounds. Why you ask? Well, two reasons. One - pregnancy. Two - bikini. I eat pretty well. We're not fast food eaters. We cook almost all of our meals from scratch, at home. It's safer that way. My hubby and I both believe in knowing what goes into our food as best we can. Let's be honest, I have my moments of weakness, but hello, I'm human (chocolate, cookies, Chinese food, occassional Taco Bell). During the week, I'm a very good girl if you don't count the glass of wine every once in a while (ok, almost every night). On the weekends, I'm a little bit more flexible if I want to be. I used to work out....a lot. I played college volleyball. We worked out constantly and I kept that up after college, not 3+ times a day of course, but I did ok. Fast forward several years and then I had a baby. I worked out most of my pregnancy with the exception of the last month or so when I couldn't see nor touch my toes. After baby I was very good once I got the green light to go back to the gym and then by Memorial Day I had fallen completely off the wagon. Sad face. Between working full time and being a mom I couldn't find the balance. Working out was what I was willing to sacrifice. Not my job and of course not my baby. So I've put realistic expectations on myself for this year because last year I just did not. I gave myself an agenda I could never have kept up with, especially not with my child as my number one priority. Step One was realizing that I am not a college athlete anymore. Step Two was realizing I'm not 18-21 years old anymore (bummer). Step Three was realizing I am now a Mom and therefore my priorities are much different (and waaaaaaaaay better). I have 10 more pounds to lose to get back to my pre-preggers weight and then I would like to lose another 10 pounds and actually wear a bikini when I get to Mexico in June. My stomach is not horrible, but it is definitely NOT what it used to be. Right now, no belly shaking or showing for me. It's a work for the reward now. Work hard and rock it on the beach in a few months. You can do eeeeet (voice from Rob Schneider in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo)!!! Small problem:

Ooops! I just couldn't help myself. It's Monday and I was kind of crabby so I went for it. It's amazing how much better I feel. See, told ya.....I'm only human.

Maybe I should just download my weight loss theme song. "She wore an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny..." (I really want it to be pink though).

I'm thinking this one:

One of my FB buddies has it and it's adorable!

Or maybe this one:Don't you love the fact that I included two pictures of supermodels in this post. I totally look like a combination of both of them by the way. I just refused VS' offer to be a model. I like commercial real estate so much better. Have a great week!
