Everyone always wants to improve themselves in one way or another. I am no different from anyone else and I have decided to share my goals, my woes and my wows with you!

I lost 30 from my divorce, the ‘Divorce Diet’ as so many call it. I am lucky that I am not a stress eater, so I lost… that was great, but not the smartest way to do it. I dropped TWO clothing sizes, wahoo! I look fantastic! It was that summer that I actually volunteered to be in photos, that was a first for me.

Well, since that time, I have put on a few pounds, I waffle [mmm waffles] between 8 and 10 pounds that I put back on, but I’m not unhappy about it, because I did not go up any clothing sizes, wahoo! My dad said if I get to a size 8 he would take me on a shopping spree, who could argue with that?

The hard part right now is that on some things I am between sizes, I’m not complaining, mind you, but sometimes it’s frustrating that my britches keep sliding down! and if I ever forget a belt, forget about it!

My goals:

Lose 25 pounds, that will get me to a healthy weight, I will never be a skinny mini, mind you. I have no desire to get so skinny as to look ill or think I could. I want to be healthy and look it, what I want to weigh is actually what someone my height should weigh. I want to lose the extra I have in a few areas [tummy, back and get myself a tush!] I still remember the day I put on a skirt and didn’t have to wear biker shorts or anything under it, I was amazed! I wasn’t going to start a fire by my thighs rubbing together! I don’t wear shorts now, just mini skirts and I LOVE it! I have my dad’s legs [yes, smarty pants, he has his own legs I did inherit his great and shapely legs, my mom always said she married my dad for his legs].

Wear a smaller bra size [not the cup, the width]. I would like to feel comfortable all day and even at the end of the day in a bra, guys you may have no idea, but I know there are gals out there who know of what I speak!

Wear a bikini, tankini or just feel really good in a bathing suit [I even have a bathing suit by Speedo, it criss crosses in the back, you can just imagine what that looks like [one goal is to wear it and feel comfortable] by December. You may be wondering why I say December, well, I’ll tell you… My family goes on a trip somewhere tropical every December and this year I want to feel good in that bathing suit and the wet suit if I get to swim with dolphins again [VERY unforgiving].

I have started going to the gym on a regular basis and I want to share my progress with you. I will update a page with what I did at the gym each day and when I have a weight loss milestone, I will crow, I mean share it here!
