Well, it's that time of year again: bathing suit weather, and I have already found two suits: a one-piece that makes me feel beautiful even when I don't (not to mention, that I can wear in front of my Goodmama without being embarrassed) and the perfect two-piece for when I feel a bit more confident. 

Now, I can't say that I've ever been overweight, but I've also never been very active. But that all change Saturday.  Seven weeks from last Saturday, I will attend a five-year high school reunion--in a bathing suit. And Saturday I noticed some less than perky places not even my one-piece can hide. (Granted, the idea of going to a high school reunion at 23 still seems preposterous to me.)

But oddly enough, it probably is about time to see everyone because so many people in my graduating class have changed, drastically. If I were to guess, I would say somewhere between 30-40 percent of the people I graduated RHHS with are now parents and/or married. Some have jobs, some don't. And if it weren't for Facebook, I would be completely oblivious to it all. Yet, I am completely curious to see how all of that is turning out. Unfortunately, it's at Tybee.

This has actually given me the kick in the tail I've never been able to give myself to make healthier choices. After some research, I've decided to do at least 30 minutes of cardio at least four times a week; I have a list of exercises to tone my softest areas three times a week on nonconsecutive days; and I am going to try to cut 500 calories out of my daily diet. Hopefully, this will jump start the healthy habits I never quite developed before it feels superfluous to do so, and I'll wear the two-piece to the reunion. See you soon class of 2005!
