Day 111 – Bikini Shopping. Blech! — Healthy Simple Living

Why oh why do I torture myself?!

I went bikini shopping today. I really want to have more than one bathing suit for my Beach Body Shred photos, so I had to bite the bullet and just do it. Of course the lighting in the fitting room was awful and every flaw magnified to fluorescent proportions. I’m just glad it’s over and I managed to buy two new bathing suits. I rate bikini shopping right up there with going to the dentist – only more painful.

Yay – my first 100% day! Phew, I was worried Joni and Mike were going to come over and beat me with a stick soon – LOL. Finally caught up on some much needed sleep. I zonked out for 9 hours last night. That’s a lot for me. I usually get 6-7 hours if I’m lucky. Eats were on target except that the 1:30pm salmon quinoa salad was a bit too much, but DAMN if it wasn’t yummy! That Whole Foods mega salad bar is going to be the death of my beach body. I’ve got to watch out for that.

new bikini looks great Lilla. Good job on the 100%, I’ll be putting the stick away for now, but it’s always at the ready so keep up the good work OR ELSE!
Suzette

well you look great in the new suit! my last swimming suit shopping didn’t go so well. o/
eventhough we are doing a beach body shred, you won’t be seeing me in a bikini any time soon (or later)
Lilla

Thanks Angie! Have a great weekend too! I tried to leave a message on your blog but it requires an account.:(
Is this your first baby?

Hi Suzette!
Swimsuit shopping never goes well. Sigh. Except for maybe Angelina Jolie.

Hey Mike,
Talk about motivation! That stick will keep me on my toes.

Lilla, that new suit is Da Bomb! Has some personality. Just think that you are among the low percentage of women in this world that look good in a bikini, so here´s to ya! Am with you Suzette, no to bikinis. In fact, never in my life have I had the urge to hang out in one…:-)
Love your posts. So much entertainment.

Lilla, loved the Colbert tape. Very funny.

Always fun to shop – for most anything! Can’t wait to fit into a bikini myself!

Hi Michael,
Good to see you’re feeling better and your sense of humor is intact! Look forward to seeing you get back to lifting.
Lilla

Congrats Angie – very exciting about baby numero uno! I’ll message you through YouTube.

Hi Debbie,

Colbert is a riot! I can’t believe how lucky we were to get REM as a guest too.

p.s. I’m sure you can rock a bikini already!
