Bikini Purchased!

Sunday I went online and bought my soon to be infamous bikini! I purchased it from the site Athleta (http://athleta.gap.com) because they specialize in bikini tops for those of us in the D cup range :). It's super cute, but a little pricey. Now that a sexy new bikini is being shipped my way, I have the motivation to step it up even more. I would hate to see my hard earned money go to waste. After I receive it, it'll hang visible in my closet as a daily reminder for what I'm working for.

My goal date is July 1st because that is when I fly off to Austin, TX for 9 sun filled days. If you've ever been to Austin, you know the less clothes the better because it is H-O-T. Austin is a place for cute little shorts, tank tops, sun dresses and spending about 40% of your time by water. Plus have you seen the guys in Texas? That's motivating enough!!

With Austin hot on my heels that leaves about 6 weeks left, which is not long at all. But today I did have a boost of confidence that I'm doing something right. Every Monday morning I weigh myself and since last week I've lost 2lbs! 2lbs may not seem like a lot to you, but according to my previous (free-session) personal trainer, I'm currently at the point in my fitness routine, that I will probably only lose 5-10lbs a month at the most. This is if I do it the healthy way. Of course I could take more drastic measures to lose even more weight, but I like my liver, kidney, and healthy skin glow as it is. So 2lbs in a week is a YES!!!!!! It's wonderful to see results and to be proud of yourself for getting it right.

Tonight's workout agenda: 3 mile run and Jillian Michael's Abs. Which is getting easier to do. I no longer collapse on my floor in the middle of the routine gasping for oxygen....(I only do that at the end now)

Enjoy your Monday and hopefully next week, I can tell you that I've knocked off another pound or so and I'll post pics of the bikini once it comes in.
