In other news, remember how I wanted to wear an eeny meeny bikini next summer? Well, as my instagram followers now know (sorry for the half dressed woman popping up on your iphones) I decided to step my goal up a notch yesterday.
In the back of my mind, I knew my ultimate goal for the summer was to wear a two piece, with confidence, and no shorts, t shirt or cover up to hide behind. I made some poor decisions that did not align with this goal though. I know how easy it can be to set a goal on the back burner and before you know it, the time is here and you're not any closer. I decided a few days before to buy a bikini. Well stupid me forgets it's November, so on a few shopping trips, no bikinis were in sight. I was
Just to brag a bit- My husband is amazing. He is so supportive of my weight loss goals and is extremely encouraging. He never hesitates to tell me how good I'm doing and how proud he is of me. He says any bathing suit would look good on me now. Yeah right babe, but thanks anyway!
I decided, with the help of my fashion consultants, on this little number:
A few thoughts:
1-I don't want to be as skinny as the model. Curves are pretty yall!
2-I knew I needed something with support because no matter what weight I'll be, I'll always have the twins.
3- I have always wanted a red bikini!
4-The thing may never even fit. I ordered a size 10 botton (I wear a 12 pants now, but reviews say the bottoms run small) and a 36 DD top. Large twins..what can ya do? I know it'll be too small now but ideally it'll be too big by July. It was hard to decide what to order but I went with my best guess. At my lowest weight on WW (169) I wore a size 10 barely, so I figure at 158ish, a 10 should be okay. It takes alot of poundage for me to go down a size.
While this goal seems vain to some, I know alot of you can relate. I just want to feel pretty and not have to cover up with a thousand layers when it's a thousand degrees outside. I remember in high school, weighing 20 pounds less than I do now, I wore a t shirt and shorts to swim on my senior trip in Cancun. All my friends were skinny and tan, and I was chubby and fake baked. It was not a good feeling and I stuck out like a sore thumb. For once, I want to feel good about doing something as normal as wearing a bathing suit confidently. Next year, it'll happen.
My goal is to lose 25 more pounds by July. I think this is reasonable and realistic. I am not hardcore set on the pound amount because I am focused on toning up as well, and I know about muscle weighing more than fat, I just wanted some number to be able to measure.
Reality really hit me today when I got the email first thing saying my BIKINI had shipped already. Holy smokes. I plan to hang it on my closet door as a reminder. It's already working and I haven't even received it yet! I went to the gym to do some ab work, shoulders and arms this morning when all I really wanted to do was watch Real Housewives and be lazy till work. Let's hope #operationredbikini remains in full affect!
Oh, one more huge thing. I promise to post a picture in the bikini (if it ever fits properly) on this blog come summer time. No pressure..
I think this is awesome girl!!!! You can do this!
ReplyDeleteawesome idea! I have the same goal when we head to FL at the end of April... I am signed up for my first half marathon April 7th so I should be in the best shape of my life! .... I definitely want to be rocking a bikini, just not sure I am brave as you to buy one now! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood for you, seriously! It's pretty empowering to put your goals out there for all to see but think how empowering (x 1000) it will be to post that bikini picture!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!! I know you are going to ROCK it!!! So proud of you!!! and you have AMAZING taste because that is the cutest bikini ever!!!
ReplyDeleteBikini goal is not vain! It's fucking bad ass! I have been known to chant "bi-ki-ni, bi-ki-ni, bi-ki-ni, bi-ki-ni..." over and over like a freaking mantra while on the treadmill, or during spin class, or to keep my fatass out of the pantry. You rock that red bikini! xo
ReplyDeleteCan we do this goal together? I would love nothing more than to rock a two piece {with thong bottoms-- kinda joking, kinda not}.
ReplyDeleteAlso... my friend Courtney started this DietBet... Where you pay $20 and whoever loses 4% of their body fat within a month, splits the pot. I signed up for December... I'll post the info to my blog tomorrow. :)
Can I get in on your operation? Same red bikini and all? I'll come see you in July and we can take Twinie Red Bikini photos together! I'm serious...but I'll get a different red bikini - but I have stretch marks from the kids...that's my whole thinking aorund not wearing a bikini...like a sexy one piece? Haha! Email me and help me find a suit! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGirl I completely understand. I had bought one last year when I started my weightloss journey and I hung it right next to my closet for a daily reminder. Everytime I wanted to eat something bad I would go look at the suit and didnt want the bad food any more and when I put it on last summer for the first time in 7 years it felt amazing!! Now Im planning on spending my whole honeymoon in one in May so Im trying to lose the last 15lbs so girl we can do this :) BTW Such a cute suit!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh I loooove this idea! except I'm gonna have to be with Darci and just wear a sexy, slutty one piece. birthing twins = no matter how thin I get there will be NO bikinis. Awesome work!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Kassie! I'm so proud of you!! You can definitely lose 25 lbs by July.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals!
You go girl!!! My goal is to be confident in a bikini also. I have always been very critical of myself and i want to feel confident next summer. Thanks for being real!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! I'd love to be in a bikini some day, but after being pregnant that may have to wait until after a tummy tuck lol. You should join in on my holiday weight loss dietbet challenge! Holly is doing it too! Check out www.dietbet.com/journeyofadreamer - $20 buy in and anyone who loses 4% of their starting weight over 4 weeks gets to split the pot! So you can lose weight and win cash!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good goal!! You are gonna rock that shit if I have to come to LA and make you do squats all the way down your street!
ReplyDelete25 lbs? you got this! oh and welcome to 2012!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I do the same thing. I actually have 2 bikinis I bought before summer thinking I would fit into them, but I haven't :-( I'm back into it and trying to lose about the same amount as you! Good luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I have a bikini I have held on to since early college, wishing one day to fit back in to. Maybe I need to make it something I see everyday as a motivator! You can do it girl!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that bikini - it looks vintage to me, so cute! Good for you for picking a goal and working towards it. I'll be looking to you for more motivation between now and the summer!
ReplyDeleteReminds me f that yogurt commercial where the cute girl eats her little yogurt every day and longingly stares at her yellow polka dot bikini as the seasons change outside her window until BAM she's skinny! I think your plan of eating sensibly and working your butt off will be much more effective. YOU GO!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be rocking that bikini in no time!!

ReplyDeleteI never believed in love spells or magic until I met this spell caster once when i went to see my friend in Indian this year on a business summit. I meant a man who's name is Dr ATILA he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell .I'm now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 5 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided,skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I didn't believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and our lives became much better. His email is atilahealinghome@yahoo.com
Hello everybody, my names is Cindy Davis Am from Canada i want to give thanks and honor to Dr.ATILA for the great work he did for me, he brought my lover within 24 hours which i never taught it will ever come through in my life, but this great man Dr. ATILA proved to me that powers can do wonders, i got his contact from a friend in the USA who he helped, this friend of mine told me that this man is great but i felt as hmm are you sure? cause i hardly believe those kind of things,so she told me not to worry that when i contact him, that she is guaranteeing me 100% that my lover will come back that if it does not work that she will be the one to give me back my money, to show her sincerity to me, she gave me her car that if it does not work that and she did not pay me the money that i spent that she i should collect her car and she gave me all the documents, i was so so surprised she was very serious about it so that was how i contacted him and i told him what i want he just told me that everything will be done within 24 hours so with the assurance my friend gave me i was having confident, so in the next 24 hours that he told me i just heard a knock on my door i never knew it was mark, so that was how i opened the door the first thing he did was to go on his knees, he started begging me to forgive him that he is very sorry for everything, i was really surprised and was also happy, so that was how i forgive him and now we are living together happily than ever before, and am using the media to invite my friends on my wedding which will coming up on 30/10/2013, am very happy thanks be to Lucy who gave me his contact and honor be onto Great DR.

ReplyDeleteHey, I'm so excited my broken Marriage has been restored & my husband is back after he left me and our 2 kids for another woman. After 8 years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Isikolo can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a (Love spell) for me. 48 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before,All thanks to Dr Isikolo. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Dr Isikolo real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your Ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Charlotte Oliver. Out of respect for you and your spells I must make this testimony know to all. I've been to other spell casters without seeing any result, all they want was after my money. I just wished I came to you earlier, i got the best from you. My ex husband was gone for a year and I went everywhere and other spell casters for help but no result until my friend introduce me to Dr Isikolo. After the Love Spell was done, I finally got a calls from him in less than 48 hours. His spells worked wonders and my husband is back with full of love. It was like a miracle! He suddenly came back with flowers saying that i should for give him, i was truly flabbergasted and shocked when my husband kneel down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back. I'm really short of words and joyful, you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. And now i am a joyful woman once again. Thank you so much Dr Isikolo.

ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the Internet on the 23th of April 2018 , And i saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great spell caster called Dr Oseiboh on the forum..I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about spell nor magic before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about black magical spells, not until Dr Oseiboh did it for me and restored my marriage of 6 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me just as i read on the Internet..i was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and i don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr Oseiboh you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. And now i am a joyful woman once again thanks for your good work and for restoring happiness to my home..LOVE SPELL,LOTTERY,PREGNANCY SPELL, DIVORCE SPELL,ANY FOUNDATION COURSES,REVENGE SPELL,STOP COURT CASE AND WIN ANY COURT PROBLEM,DEATH SPELL,BUSINESS SPELL AND MANY MORE YOU MAY NEED.
