Bikini Challenge!

 

So depending on how well you know me, I would say I'm a pretty open, public person about a LOT of things. This, allowing people to see my tummy, this is not one of them. Well, until now, obviously, but it's still not my idea of a good time. That being said...

I have decided to challenge myself to present myself in a bikini for my hometown Miss Mansfield pageant in February. Granted, I did say this

 last year as well. But this year, there's something inside of me, pushing me to further better myself. Motivation? Maybe. But my drive will not go away. I'm doing this for myself and my health, not for the judges. Although, I know being fit and healthy will boost my confidence further and give me the extra oomph to hopefully get that crown! So, it's win-win.

So, as the world as my witness, I declare war on fat cells. By Feb 23rd, I will be rocking this (or maybe even a SMALLER, DREAM BIG!) bikini at the Miss Mansfield/Miss NCO pageant.

Anyone who wants to join in the challenge is perfectly welcome, a support group is always nice! I will TRY to keep up with my results bi-weekly, if not weekly.

Disclaimer: If you're one to judge, that's ok! Although, if the pictures offend you, or you just don't care to see my blubber, I highly encourage you to unsubscribe now, because I don't need the negativity! :]

This week my focus is on getting back into my gym/tanning...and work (lol).... routine. Planning out my days, setting up my system... blah blah... baby steps!

Andddd ready, set, GO! :D

Pageant Pack List

Well I know every time a pageant comes around, especially with an already hectic schedule, I run around like a chicken with my head cut off, and freak out when it comes to the packing! So, while bored at work, I decided to compose a list of pageant needs, to ease my anxiety of forgetting something I may need. And I'm guessing others may have the same problem, so here is my basic list, feel free to steal, add to, change, print out, etc for yourself! Mine has things more geared for a vocal talent (like cough drops), so if you're a dancer or anything else, you may need a couple extra things! ;]

I also have the nicer word/pdf version too, I can e-mail to anyone who may need it! :]
