Bathing suit season countdown. Increasing sit-ups.
Backstory
OK. I just looked on my calendar and it's getting closer to bathing suit season. And sundress season. But fear not, I'm not going totally all crazy. I'm increasing my sit ups to five more each night. I'm going for consistency. And the arm weight thingys. I swear I'm going to walk out of my house this spring without a sweater on over my sundress. Yeah, that's right. Me, without a sweater to cover up. They are sleeveless sundresses for a reason. Get ready, world! by Dragonflower in Six-Word Memoirs on Mar 07, 2013 |

Good idea! Not all mirrors are created equal.BanjoDan says,
photo please!accidentaltourist says,
Dan is always looking for pics of someone in something slinky, sexy, skin-baring. I like that about him. ;)AQScott says,
You GO girl :) ...and thanks for the reminder...Loon says,
I call low-fat food "bathing suit food"notyouraveragegirl says,
Why is Girl Scout Cookie season just before bathing-suit season? Those devilish little imps! They don't need to worry about this for a few decades.Dragonflower says,
Great comments! They made me laugh off a pound or two. Yes! Laughter is good exercise too!And BTW, I was noticing that about BD myself, AT! BanjoDan's IGF and wife put up with a lot. I'm guessing he is probably worth it!

This was inspirational! Thank you.JAD says,
DE I've been dragging on the chain. Got to get with it. I feel like a sugar dumpling. This memoir a motivation for sure.Dragonflower says,
A sugar dumpling! That's a good one, JAD! I know the feeling. The other day I was just walking down to my mailbox, and felt soooo slow and my legs felt like they were weighted!catsmeow says,
Sit-ups? What's a sit-up?People tell me they are too old to wear a bikini. I say you're never too old to wear one, but you might be too old for anyone to want to look at you in one. Perhaps there is an applicable lesson here? If so, I've not figured it out.
Dragonflower says,
Current vernacular calls sit-ups "crunches". I think. Not sure. Maybe "strengthening your core" is another way to say it. Or, here's another one: "Abs of steel workout". They are exercises designed to flatten a poofy stomach. Poofy meaning it sticks out. I think I have a designer stomach, myself. It has been poofy since the day I was born! :) I have been known to wear sweaters over my bikinis. True story, as they say on the talk shows.Dragonflower says,
ps. I know cats was joking. :)canadafreeze says,
My sit-ups are mostly get ups.three-monkeys says,
I can totally relate to this memoir!! My metabolism is not working this year!! Supposedly I can't eat non-stop chocolate from Halloween through Easter (with splashes of wine here and there) and still look good in a bathing suit...who knew? Keep up the good work, and work that sundress, lady!ShellDeFelice says,
Splashes of wine? That is adorable...apparently I can't drink buckets of wine and chow down boxes of Girl Scout cookies and look good in a suit. I did get out my "arm weight thingys" though, all thanks to this fun reminder of how much I detest bingo arms.Dragonflower says,
Hoho, Featured! Busted, so to speak! Now I gotta remember to walk the walk! :D
