This weekend was busy! I had dinner with one of my best friends from forever…and hung out with her until late Friday night. She lives about 2 hours away from me, and we don’t make the time often enough to see each other. But she and her husband took time off, and I got to see her. It was great!
My parents were out camping for the weekend, so I joined them on Saturday. We went to the lake at the campground and swam. And I, my friends, wore a bikini! That’s right, a bikini! Out in public. For the first time in my life since I was a kid.
I bought it this winter on sale from Victoria’s Secret. I highly recommend buying a suit during the off season…mine was 13 bucks!
I had been wearing it in my backyard pool, but no one but my family could see me. But I decided that I had to wear it, because a) I don’t have any other suit that fits because last year’s swimsuit is waaayy too big, and b). I worked hard for this body and I’m going to flaunt it. It may not be perfect, but it is mine and that’s what matters.
But an amazing thing happened: Men were staring at me! And I don’t think that they were staring because I looked bad. I saw appreciative looks in their eyes! What a great feeling! NSV for sure!
This weekend is a bachelorette party for one of my favorite co-workers, and I am super excited! I will post pictures, I promise!
I also got up and ran 5 miles this morning. It was 6:00am, and already 79 degrees outside. But as it appears there is no relief in sight, I decided to haul my butt out of bed and go. It was hot, I was dripping with sweat, but I ran my 5 miles and feel GREAT about myself!
Have a great day friends!
