In Vancouver you only have to wear the bottom part to the other beaches.

_{But, if you really want to wear a suit to the beach, I won’t try to talk you out of it.}

But the cheer fairy has been a real scrooge today.

Wreck is lovely – there’s currently still snow in the dark corners and my skin isn’t fond of full monty sunshine, but it’s lovely. (I’m looking for a photo I saved from an article… will post later if I find it). I was thinking about for the pool. They do have clothing optional swims here, but I was really hoping for a suit. Or to have 8 million tiny gems glued to my body.

Strength train & eat well 80% of the time :)

i’m working on this too. haven’t been swimming since Aug ‘08 :(

Stick some in the freezer. Much healthier than ice cream. Very enjoyable.

While I can swim well, I don’t enjoy swimming for exercise. I much prefer running. Alas, I am heavy enough that running would rapidly destroy my knees and ankles.

So I’m walking these days, but every day.

best of luck honing your curves!

I love this post! The picture is great. I am happy to hear the scale fairy is with you. If you look Target (and I imagine other stores) have great sales on bathing suites. They may not be the best choices, but if you have one you will be ready to swim when the chance arises. It would be fun with a child, too! My aunt got passes to a local hotel from a friend at work. I am not sure how that works, but I bet it’d be fun!
