Get a bikini worthy body

that Locks of Love will be getting my hair (more than 4 inches obviously) in 37 days because I am nowhere near a bikini-bod. There is a vague outline, but nothing “firmly” in place.

I wonder how it’ll be to have short hair again.

... a personal challenge?

Well, mainly because I want to be comfortable in my own skin (pun intended).

When I was growing up, I always thought I looked good. Even through high-school, when teenagers are always conscious about the way they look, I never used to pay too much attention to my hair, clothes, or make-up. This was not because I wasn’t interested in said items, but because I was OK with the way I dressed and felt comfortable with myself.

Then there was a turning-point in my life that saturated me with self-doubt. I became very self-conscious and had (have) all these hang-ups re: my body image.

I feel that by working towards a body image that will make me comfortable wearing a bikini (it doesn’t have to be itsy bitsy or teeny weeny, or polka-dotted for that matter) I will finally let go of these hang-ups that I accumulated and return to the carefree individual I was when I was younger.

Well…here’s to hoping. If not I lose quite a bit of hair!

...this goal hasn’t been neglected, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere fast.

I do see some more definition along my mid-section, but it seems my lower-half is jiggly as ever.

Argh!

...I have a personal trainer. I haven’t really exercised though. Hmmm…

...to the gym yesterday! 1 hour of cardio…jiggly butt, begone!

I need

to go

to the gym.

I’m a lazy mofo. Argh! No, I have to go tonight.

I had to go and make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. They are good, but I am not. Argh!

And it was good!

...I’ve finally joined the gym. Again. I have opted for the “non-committal” plan, which probably is not a good thing because it basically allows you to quit whenever you’d like without any consequences.

Perhaps I should look at it in a positive way and think of it as yet another reason not to flake out.

...lost 3 lbs! but it’s mainly water weight. Still, it feels encouraging!

Now, if I could only firm up at the same time…
