Ok. I did it. I wore an actual bikini this weekend. I said I was not going to post these but why the heck not. If I can motivate someone with these, then it's worth it.
Be kind. I'm not wearing any makeup and I was outside and in the pool all day and it's HOT here in Texas. I'm an extremely modest person so wearing that bikini and posting these is kind of a break through moment for me. I NEVER show my thighs and my tan lines don't match. Lol. The white part of my stomach above the bathing suit bottoms is all sun burned now. And I'm including a candid my daughter got of me stretching. It's not my favorite, but my husband loves it.
Ugh. Knowing me, I'll take these down as soon as I put them up.
And if you saw the my bathing suit pics from last week and are wondering what I'm always laying out by, I've attached a picture of that too. It's my weekend happy place.
Ok, about to click submit. EEEEK!!!!!

You look awesome!!! I'm not there yet I have too much skin on my legs... trying to firm up still
but if I looked like you I'd be all over the place in my bikini!!!
I love that your husband loves it too... (his new pic Id on his cell phone maybe???) That is so awesome to have someone on your side about the weight loss... WTG husband!!
