She wore an itsy bitsy...

BIKINI!!!
What am I thinking?!? (oh, and if YOU don't want to see the blinding bikini... Don't keep scrolling! *grin*)

I am thinking, that's it's time to get REALLY SERIOUS!!

I have been getting very slack lately. I am generally so comfortable with myself, that I haven't been making the best choices that I possibly can. I have been eating a bit more, of whatever I feel like, I ate a TRUCKLOAD of food last week, I was sick and felt STARVING and just ate and ate and I didn't even think.
So all in all I have put on 2 kilos in the last two weeks.
Pretty bad, huh!

Anyway, I have been talking about getting a bikini and taking pictures for a while, well I finally have got the guts up! I didn't have the guts to go try stuff on in a store though, so I took a huge leap and signed up for ebay and bought a bikini. Oh you should have seem me, I almost DIED when I pulled it out of the packaging, it is tiny!!!!
So I had a little panic, and seriously considered not even trying it (and definitely no photos!). I can't hid ANYTHING with this bikini. I guess that is the whole point, isn't it!

So anyway, you may not want to look at the pics that I have posted today - they are "warts and all" pics, no sucking in my belly, no angles, no nothing! URGH! But you know what? It has REALLY helped me!
For starters, it doesn't look as bad as I think it does (or I think it should?). It shows me that my chest really is a LOT smaller, in my head I still think it's bigger... And I can see my belly button!!! I thought it had actually gone for good! *grin*
Secondly, there is some definite work still to be done, and stripping down to the bare minimum has definitely helped me to see the muscle tone I have now, and where I like things to improve!

As a comparison, I have put in a pic of me when I had lost about 8 kilos and thought I was looking great and wore a bikini... hmmm... It's from a post from earlier this year, belly revealingng, and it's nice to see that I have changed so much since those belly dancing shots too.
Hmmm, the more I look at these pics, the more I really don't want to post them... but I am going to anyway, and you can expect (demand? someone keep me accountable!) regular updates on progress. It's only about two months til Christmas, and I'd love to take some time off down the coast after the busy season at work is over, so gotta look good!

Well this morning I am going to get the ball rolling with an half an hour run on the treadmill before Pump with mum. Should be good! We have been housesitting a place for a little while and have had no internet, so I promise to get around and look at everyones blogs in the next few days, so expect comments!

AND BRING ON SUMMER!! WooT!! :)

tehehe, i completely agree with you, and considered not posting til after i had got a wax, but that would have just been procrastinating cos then i would have waited til i wasn't red, and then i would want to get a tan etc etc and it would have been summer before i got to it! that's why i did the warning up the top! It's what my mum calls "warts and all!" photos!
*grin*

p.s everyone enjoying the fairy floss?! :)

I think you should be very proud of yourself for a few reasons: (1) you posted those pics (2) imagine what you would look like if you posted those photos at your start weight. You have come a long way, and I think that even at our goal weights, we'll still be able to find something in photos of ourselves that we'd like to improve. But having said that, I think those small improvements that you hope to achieve as totally within your grasp. Have a great week Sweetie xxx
