Operation: Bikini Bod
The other day, I was having lunch with a friend who I hadn’t seen in months and months. She was telling me how she was hitting the gym and had lost five pounds already. I said that I felt like I had been gaining weight because not only do I not exercise ever, I’m also eating all the time. She looked me over and said, “Well, you are nesting by living with you boyfriend. It is to be expected.”
Gasp! Like I’m supposed to turn into some kind of whale now?
But, I do feel kinda whaleish. I mean, all my clothes still fit, but things jiggle that aren’t supposed to jiggle. And, now, I’m supposed to go on a beach vacation?!?!
So, it is operation bikini bod time. But I am being REALISTIC here because I don’t own a gym membership and maybe exercising gives me a rash so I’m not going to be going crazy at the gym or anything. But, I am just going to try and be more active and eat better and I will see where that takes me. (But, I’m not ruling out more drastic measures the closer I get to the bikini date.)
Wish me luck!

Start walking everywhere that you go. And maybe drink a glass of skim milk before you eat meals. Silly little tricks that won’t kill your body:)

Drink lots of water and keep a food journal (that’ll keep you aware and more in control of what you’re eating). GOOD LUCK!
