Bathing Suit Season is Here
Spring can be kind of a bummer for some people, especially for those who live in beautiful beach communities like Vero. Truthfully, it's not the season that bums us out; it's realizing that it's time to dress for the season that can be the real downer.
Every year the bathing suit season sneaks up on us. Suddenly the rude awakening hits when we are facing a mirror, attempting to find a flattering bathing suit for the sunny weather. In the reflection we see all our mistakes: the holiday treats, the broken New Year's Resolutions and our procrastination faces us head on.
Believe me, I know. After I had been married for a couple of years, I got comfortable - a little too comfortable I'd say. I went from a size 5/6 ...to 7/8 ...to a 9/10...and finally to an 11/12. It was such a gradual process I almost didn't realize it was happening. Lucky for me, the styles in the nineties were more forgiving than today's low-rise hip-hugging jeans. It really didn't hit me until one spring when I saw my backside in a three way mirror. I started my diet the next day!
Winter months allow us to cover up our flaws. Then spring comes and we realize we can't hide them anymore. For those of us who procrastinate, we realize we missed valuable time which could have been spent preparing for the bathing suit season. Some people may be tempted to give up and just avoid the beach altogether, while others decide to take the bull by the horns and get in shape.
The time for New Year's Resolutions maybe over, but the most effective resolutions are the ones you make when you are really ready to make a change. For me, it was a three-way mirror that made me want to get my act together. For others it may be a doctor's visit or high school reunion. Whatever the situation is, you can embrace it and use it to motivate you to do whatever it takes to change.
It's never too late. You can never be too heavy, too old or too out of shape to get fit. Fitness works for everyone and it can work for you. The only thing that separates the fit from the unfit are the choices they make - and you have the choice to begin changing your life today.

the only thing that seperates
are those who do....
and those who do.... not
if you're serious about getting in shape and being healthy, or getting in shape to look awesome and "have a great time".... whatever your reasons. and let's be serious... most arent in it for health regardless of what they say....
talk is cheap...in fact, its free
actions are the real test.
so whatever your reason I leave you with this warming helping hand tip...
Its all mental. All of it.
Make up your mind right now the reasons you are doing this. set a plan in action, and say it out loud, write it down, discuss it with everyone to hold you accountable. If no one knows about it, how will anyone be able to help you stay the course. We can't say we dont need anyone, or else you wouldn't be in need of a plan of attack right now, becuase no one ELSE made you eat what you ate, or do what you did (or lack there of) except yourself.
sure your society affects you 100%, dont get me wrong, but only you have control. if you decide right now you're going to do it..... that's it there's nothing that will stop you and if you let us help you get a routine and make those LIFESTYLE changes, I promise you that you will see results and get what you deserve. only YOU can control YOUrself.. only YOU control YOUr actions.... so.... lets do it!
WOOOOO! Lets go baby!!
