Motivation...or lack thereof

Well, spring is trying to arrive. Sure we still have cool days but the sun is out almost everyday, flowers are peeking their heads out of the ground, and the birds are out of hibernation. I love spring for many reasons: the lovely warm weather and the feel of the sun on my face, USC Baseball games!!, and super cute skirts and dresses.

So how does the title of this post fit in? Well with the super cute skirts and dresses comes having nice toned legs. And let's just also discuss a trip to the beach with a bikini. As the beginning of April nears, that leaves just two months before Memorial Day and the official start of bathing suit season. To say I'm not ready would be the understatement of the century!

We have been having the Biggest Loser competition at work. My team has done ok, but I admit, I have not been, er, pulling my weight. I just can't seem to get motivated. I know that some of the smallest changes (cardio and leaving those yummy Easter colored M&M's alone) will dramatically help. I guess I need a goal and lots of encourgaging support.

Now that the days are longer, I can make it home in the afternoons for a run. Blue I'm sure will also enjoy this as we pass a pond on my favorite running route. A nice swim for him turns into a moments pause and relaxation for me.

So here's to a little motivation! Oh, do I dare mention that I am in a wedding in June and my lovely dress is sleeveless and short. Got to start those push ups! :)

Oh, girls!! Let's not talk about bathing suit season!! :) I got my first maternity bathing suit a few weeks ago & while it's not as bad as they use to be, still not very flattering!
