The Great Bikini Reveal 2008

My last post got me thinking about something to motivate me to continue my workout routine. I have a tendency to fall by the wayside and get side tracked unless I have an incentive. And what better incentive than posting a bikini picture for all the blogosphere to see! Having two big babies (9lb 12oz and 8lb 3oz) one right after another and gaining much more than the recommended amount of weight with each pregnancy hasn’t been all too kind to my body, but I am determined to squeeze into a bikini this year.

So, I bring to you - The Great Bikini Reveal 2008!

The Great Bikini Reveal 2008

So I pledge:

  • To work my butt off for the next 90 days and post about my progress.
  • To buy a sassy HAWT bikini.
  • On July 4, 2008, to take a picture in it and post it for all to see. Flaws and all!

(And, no, I don’t do thongs - I am a full coverage kinda gal and anyway this is a family blog.)

That’s 3 months, or about 12 weeks. 90 days exactly. Wow, I must be crazy. I have a lot of work to do.

Let the fireworks fly! Cheer me along, play along if you want, grab the button, spread the word. 90 days of motivation - I could use the support!

    For sure you’re crazy… or extremely brave, or already ‘hate-able’ skinny. Good luck and good shopping! =)

    @Tara R. - all of the above, complete with a case of cellulite, muffin top, and back fat. :)

    LOL… your muffin top and back fat is what I desire. Great challenge for yourself. I’m revealing myself in a bikini in the middle of July. Got to start working out on Monday. :)

    ooh, that even makes me motivated. I definitely won’t be bikini ready by then, but I’ll for sure be thinner.

    umm, yeah, I’m counting down with you ;)

    That is awesome!! I definitely need to give myself a kick in the butt too. But it’s just so hard to give up Ben and Jerrys!

    There is no way I would catch myself in a bikini, but I am totally in to working out hardcore. I was just on the treadmill for about 45 minutes.. woohoo.

    I should prolly do that as well. But not to wear a bikini. Just to fit back into my old clothes.

    You are a brave, brave woman. I finally did the right thing and said adios forever to the bikinis of yore.

    (And thanks for the nice comment at my place, mama)

    Whooottt!!! Those WERE awesome sized babies LOL! Go brave girl, go! I’m sure you’ll look fantastic!
    And thongs, me not so much either. I don’t think they look the best even on perfectly perfect butts.
    I would do this too (I tend to wear two-pieces because I have a long torse), but I can’t subject the WWW to the babyfolds that will not go away without tummy tuck. I think they’re easier to get rid of before you’re in your 40s.

    You go girl!!!
    You are MUCH more brave than I am. But I do need to get my butt in gear. I too am a class girl, but somehow can’t find “time” to fit in a class. These excuses are making my butt grow by the minute :)
