I went to Winners today and I bought two new bikinis for the season. They were a good deal, and I think I really like them on. I even bought a pink strapless terry towel cover up/dress thinger.
One bikini is bright green, with hearts, and the other is a more Hawaii inspired 2 piece that is white with blue. Both halter style which is flattering and holds me in place LOL.
I think I will take photos in them too...they look SOOO much better than the old one. I think I am going to part with it after these next 10 pounds.
Tomorrow I am going to go to the waterslides with my husband and Cameron for his birthday.
Toodles! Now, I just need to decide which one will be the one for tomorrow...

Blog update for October 2008
Well, I so obviously did not reach my weight loss goal below. I think because my body is holding onto the last bits of fat for breastfeeding. I didn't anticipate feeding Coco for this long. So, I go with the flow. I ran my first half marathon on October 12, 2008. 1 hour 53 minutes and 36 seconds. Awesome experience. I have now signed up for a second half marathon on February 15, 2009. I am still 150 pounds. So, I have maintained this weight for over 4 months. I am feeling strong.
Blog update for September 7th, 2008.
It is quite possible that I will be at my 'ultimate' goal weight of 135 for my 37th birthday on October 7th, and quite possibly for my half marathon race on the 12 or 19th of October. I finally broke past a 3 month plateau and I feel fabulous. I started back on my program in full force on September 2nd. I am feeling super and really pumped about reaching my goal!
Blog Update for July 5th, 2008:
*I am feeling great at 150 pounds, and getting more lean with my running. I am feeling pretty muscular and therefore feel quite good at where I am at for now.
*My pre-pregnancy weight: 204 pounds
*Top weight of my last EVER pregnancy: 238 pounds
*My current mini-goal is a weight of 199
(to lose 19 pounds to get under 200 pounds for the last time!!) Goal achieved: January 29th 2008 in 4 weeks
Note: I just want to add that I had already lost 19 pounds before the start of the Go-Be-Gone 2008. When I finish the contest I will be adding those 19.2 pounds onto to my total weight loss.
Started Goo-Be-Gone:
January 1st, 2008 (weight 218.8) in my sixth week postpartum and I am currently nursing on demand.
Goo-Be-Gone 2008 ends in 3 months:
April 1, 2008 (hopefully 20-30 pounds lost by then!)
**** At the halfway mark I have lost about 30 pounds (and have already met my original goal for April 1st 2008)
I hope to lose between 10-15 more pounds by April 1st for the FINAL weigh in.****I met this goal 2 weeks before the end of GBG.

I promised myself that after the birth of our last baby (She was born on November 16th 2007) that I would finally lose the weight (I weighted 238 pounds!) and I have lost the majority of the weight. By June 2008 I weighed 150 pounds.
This is me now! 150 pounds

Blog update for December 2008
Here I am up about 10 pounds (almost 10 pounds) and feeling yuck. Not enough running or caring about what I am putting into my mouth. That is all going to stop! I am going to knock those pounds away, plus a final 10! I am looking forward to a fresh start! I want to wear my size 6 jeans again!

Woo HOO 2 bikinis! I bet they look awesome on you and will look even more so next month! You blog is one of the most amazing blogs I've ever come across... I've shared it with a few others and now they are visiting too. I think what is most amazing is how quickly you accomplished this feat. Amazing. You inspired me, just when I needed it. I started a weight loss blog and am trying to follow your pattern. I also am nursing full time, as you were. My baby is 2 months today. You can visit my blog if you want, but it's by invitaion only right now, don't yet have the guts for it to be open to the public. :) I'm sure you understand. You were hoping to help at least one person, and know that you have helped me.!! THANK you. Here is my email... if you shoot me back one I can add you to my blog. If not, that is okay too! Blessings! dan_savage@msn.com
Yeah!!! Can't wait to see the pic's! :)
Jenny, I will be sending you an email for sure! I look forward to cheering you on.

Angie: I still need to take a photo. I wore the blue Hawaii one!
