12 day countdown to bikini body shape!!

Well people – 7 weeks ago I posted my pictures after a 3 week personal challenge and was very pleased with my results – but as of today, I am not so happy…  Good grief – whenever I don’t have a plan or a goal to work toward, I fall off the wagon – and this time I fell off hard…. I think a large part of this was from stress… I know everyone has stress in their life, but lately for me it has felt overwhelming.  I mean I can usually handle when one part of my life is a little out of whack, but when ALL parts are out of whack – Oy – the last thing I want to do is focus on diet and exercise…. Thank goodness things have settled down and I can work on getting my focus back, and just in time – I only have 12 days to get myself back in bikini body shape

So here we go – let’s check out the damage….

As of this morning

Weight 136 – up 8 lbs!
Waist 27″ – up 2″
low waist 30.5 – up 1.5″
hips 37.5 – up 1.5″
Thigh 22 – up 1”

DRAT! I’m up 6″ and 8lbs since April 29th!! OMG has it really been 7 weeks already…. 7 weeks of flying by the seat of my pants, 7 weeks with no real goal, which I have not done in over a year and look what happened!  I’ve been struggling to get back on track for the last few weeks as you could probably tell by my last three blogs: Feeling Overwhelmed, What’s your reset button, Finding balance… but now it’s time to get to work!

My goal is to be down at least 5 lbs and 5 inches…. This is going to take some drastic measures and some very tight planning. Am I up for the challenge?  Of course I am – and – I  will proudly post a picture of me on the beach looking as good as I did 7 weeks ago…

So here is my 12 day plan – I will update you on my progress next Sunday, and then on Saturday before heading to the beach.
