Getting Started

So there are many reasons why I hate to shop for clothing but swimsuits are the worst. This "before" shot hubby took is reason enough to get off the couch. This weekend my wonderfully supportive hubby and I did some shopping. We got some workout tools that will come in handy- notably a water bottle and a pull up bar. You might be wondering why I got a pull up bar if I'm in such terrible shape. Well the short answer is I need to get started on serious ab work. Have you seen those midriff bearing uniforms? See before pic above. Seriously, even if they are covered in a layer of fat, I need abs and I need them now. Not only will they look good when the layer of fat is worked off, a strong core is really important to dancer form.
I spent hours yesterday preparing healthy meals. I woke up and made my way through the first video in the Slim in 6 series by beachbody. Do I think I'll be slim in 6 weeks? Uh, heck no! I do think that beginning a toning program now is important. Saggy skin from weight loss is so NOT cute.
