Some motivation

So, after going on about feeling yucky in my previous post (and on my "secret" blog-- yes, I have one no one knows about), I did some online shopping. I bought a bathing suit for inspiration:




Yes, I really bought this exact suit! I mean, Brian says it's not impossible to regain our stomachs after giving birth...I had a left-over gift certificate to Victoria's Secret plus a $10 off coupon, so I only spent $15. I figure, it will be an awesome deal for $15 if I end up wearing it (plus think how hot I'll look!). If I work my butt off, but don't get there because it's not humanly possible, at least I'll be in the best shape I can be, and only be out $15. (But, then again, the $15 motivated me, so I guess it won't be a waste!)

Then, I found this outfit:



I love the whole look--the sweater, the cami, the ripped up jeans. It's not cheap (I think all in all it's over $100), but I am going to buy it for myself at the beginning of next month if I kick butt in my workouts and my diet this month.

I'm also motivated by this outfit:



Not quite as expensive (at least without the shoes that cost $45), but still cute for spring/summer. That's my second reward (or my first if I don't have enough money next month ;-))

It's funny how doing some "window" shopping can shake off the blues...Wish me luck!

Whoa mama! You will look great! It's about time you finally took the bull by the horns and enjoy the body you have- it's the only one you'll get- so enjoy it! 20 years from now you'll look back and be grateful- and think how hot you looked! You will not be able to believe that you ever thought otherwise.

How hot I will look remains to be seen, but it's kind of fun thinking about it...I'm going to hang that suit in my bedroom where I can see it every day! But, don't get me wrong...I didn't buy that for the way my body looks now, but the way I'm going to make it look by summer!

And yes...a "secret" blog--it's kind of fun to have!
