What will you do this Summer, you didn't last?

in Motivation and Support
Every year is a new beginning. Many of us right around December make that pledge new year new you and we try... really really hard and then we stop! Why? Many reasons I am sure... but every day is a new day, so we can take advantage of that and start now. So name one thing (POSITIVE) you will be doing this summer that you couldn't or just flat out wouldn't do that you will be doing this Summer?

    I joined a gym and have been keeping up my new lifestyle for a month straight now. I've never done that before in my life. And not health related, I'm planting flowers and bushes. I did jack diddly squat in the yard last year (just got the place in December 2011).

    Oh!! And possibly trying for a baby. :heart:

    This is a great question. I am almost 100lbs lighter so my answer is, " Anything and Everything I can with my family and friends." There is nothing stopping me now. Im so excited.

    Today I bought a monokini. It fits...technically. But I am still too fat in my legs for it to look attractive. So I am hoping sometime before the end of the summer to be able to wear it to the beach. :)

    Becoming an aerobics instructor and taking care of my financial health now that my physical health is under control.

    I've been rocking a bikini for years even at my heaviest. Wearing a two piece is about confidence more than it is about being thin.

    I'm cutting way way back on the summer deli salads like potato and macaroni for better options. I want to rock my 2 piece bathing suit and not feel like the beached whale this summer!

    I'll be moving back to a city I used to live in and am planning to SHOCK my old friends! :) I want their jaws to drop :P I'm close to my goal weight but have avoided putting up too many progress pics (current photo from beginning of Feb), especially on facebook! A friend has offered to do a fun "after" photo shoot when I get there in August :)

    Last summer....
    Jeans- size 11 (a tight size 11)
    Shirt- XL (but was starting to look at cloths in plus size stores)
    Weight- probably 170-175 ish (I avoided the scale)

    Currently....
    Jeans- size 7 (bought a pair of size 5 capris though that fit! NSV!)
    Shirt- Medium (on that same shopping trip, I bought a size small shirt too!)
    Weight- 129 currently (never been in the 120's!!)

    I've been at it since September. Every New Year I always say I'll get in shape but that never seemed to happen so when I finally found the motivation, I got off my butt!! :P

    Be PROUD of strutting around in a bikini, vs. being self-conscious.

    I will try to go to my parents house and swim this summer with my husband and son. I am just at the beginning of my journey so next summer I should be able to do even more. I hope to be able to get a membership at a local amusement park. My son would love that.
