Despite my complete sloth this week AND a splurge of a dinner on Saturday night I still managed to loose 0.8 lbs this week. That makes me happy. Especially since I was totally prepared to gain a little.
I didn’t work out on Thursday, Friday OR Saturday this past week. That hasn’t happened in a while. It was all just a matter of circumstance really. My son was sick on Thursday so I was home with him. Friday was so busy at work playing catch up. And Saturday we went to see Steely Dan so it was a day filled with running around delivering the boy to relatives and other general errands.
Saturday night we went to out to eat with my sister and it was yummy. I had the most wonderful Baked Goat cheese with grilled bread and then a pizza on thin crust with cheese and bacon. Drrroooollll. It was yummy and I was sure I’d pay for it, but I got right back into the swing of things on Sunday with an hour on the elliptical and sticking to my points. I suppose that paid off.
I got my new bathing suits in and returned most of them. They fit but I just decided I wanted something a little more concealing in the tummy area. I went with this instead…
Black again. I was really trying to branch out to some color this year but the black just kinda happened. I feel like the rouching on the top helps hide any muffin-top sort of areas. Even though everything fits it’s tight so things that aren’t firm (i.e. my stomach) still seem to get pushed around to the path of least resistance. The only thing I don’t like about the top is that it crisscrosses across the boobs. Flattering yes but one wrong move and I’ve exposed a boob to the beach. I think I’m going to stitch that bad boy closed just for my own peace of mind.
I had to go with the shorts. I just had to. My thighs may be a bit smaller but they’re still covered in stretchmarks from pregnancy and I just don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable showing them to the world again. I’m much more comfy in shorts or a swim mini and since my husband said the shorts looked better I went with the shorts.
I’m at least happy that I’m going to feel somewhat comfortable at the beach this year. THAT is monumental in itself.
