All right Monday, show me what you got!

Oh, Monday, how I wish you would have come tomorrow.

I was up early this morning; 6 AM to be exact. I am trying out this whole working out in the morning thing. I'm not really a morning person, you see. Maybe I'll adapt. Or maybe I'll just realize that I wasn't meant to wake up before 8!

After buying our flights to Greece, I realized that my "bikini body" wouldn't make itself. If I expect to sit on the beach with M in my bikini and not feel self-conscious, then I should probably do something about it! I have 2 months before we leave, so that's plenty of time to get in shape.

I considered taking a before and after photo, but who am I kidding. I'd be mortified to have a photo of me in a bikini online for the world to see. Okay, maybe not mortified, but definitely a little embarrassed.

This photo above was taken the last time I was in Greece. (Aug. 2007) Since then, I have gained 12 pounds. I wasn't able to cross off #6 from my list in May, but hopefully it will crossed off the next list!

Speaking of lists, I clearly need to finish my 27 before 27 post it! I'm off to do that now!

Have a great week everyone!

Good for you! I'm lucky if I can even get up on time to get ready for work. I am REALLY not a morning person. Good luck with the pursuit of your perfect bikini body. I'll just be happy if I can fit into my wedding dress.

Wow, you're motivated. I can't get myself out of bed to workout.

Greece is my dream vacation. I'm sure you can't wait to visit again.

What a cute photograph! What I've learned after lots of dieting and exercise (I get up at 4:40am to go to the gym) and getting down to my goal weight (and then gaining a bit of weight back) is that how you feel about yourself is as important as how you think you look. I'm trying to get back on an exercise/get healthy program myself right now -- the school year always makes it hard for me to keep a consistent gym schedule. Maybe we can form an internet support group.
