Bikini Ready By May – 2013

This was me last year around this time … 

oh how I miss those days…

Bikini Ready By May? Yes, it’s about that time.

For the past two years I have used this time to whip myself into some sort of swimwear shape for beach trips over Memorial Day Weekend. This year… plans have been up in the air and I have done barely anything to prepare myself for the summer months. And you know what? I feel like I’ve been slacking, not to mention my body and health HATE me. I honestly need some sort of motivation to get back into the groove of a healthy lifestyle… (and being considered sexy, judge me!), and this will be the motivation.

• The first year my goal was simple… to wear a bikini during my vacation and to not look like a blimp.
• Last year, my goal was to simply look and feel my best by the time I headed to Miami.

This year? My goal is to get my groove back. I want my schedule of workouts, my urge to eat every two and a half hours, and my dying need to drink gallons of water willingly.

So how am I going to do this?

• Well… thanks to my wonderful job, I now have a trainer, we’ll call her Curly A, and she is absolutely great.
• My besties and I have created a group chat in which we (along with a few others) complain and motivate each other to keep on pushing. They’re completing 60 days of insanity and I’ll begin the challenge shortly.
• I’ve decided to give up the night-owl lifestyle in order to be at the gym for 6:30AM and as stated before, I’ll be doing insanity.
• And of course monitoring myself on the blog and vlog (yikes!).

Where Do You Guys Come in?

As usual you can join me on this challenge!

Why Join The Challenge? Support, support, support! Motivation, motivation, motivation! Having a support group (even if it’s just me) makes this new healthy lifestyle easier to progress through. Having someone else to keep you going (and maybe a little healthy competition) might be just what you need for a few months to get you back on track or keep you on track to becoming a better (and might I add sexier) you!

How Do You Participate? Simply leave a comment saying you are in! Whether is participating in updates through the ASSW Facebook page, sending me an email, leaving a comment or actively participating through your own blogs & vlogs, let’s help each other out! Now, please keep in mind! You do not have to be striving for a bikini. You are striving for a physically and mentally better you… that just may be able to fit into a bathing suit of your choice at the end  .

So what do you say guys… are you in?
