Friday! And Ooh - Yellow!

Sleep. Gym. Laundry. Repeat. That's what my weekend will consist of. But that's ok!

I've set the goal for June 1st to be swimsuit ready! The plan is to keep an exercise and nutrition log so I can see what I need to change and make better goals. I've also taken a before picture of myself. This will not be shared. Neither will the after picture. Sorry - I know myself too well, I'll be overly critical of myself in a swimsuit, even if I get to my overall goal. Also - my skin is so horribly, pasty white right now, you'd need sunglasses. (No seriously.) I don't have a set weight goal, just an overall tone-and-slim goal.


I think another motivator is swimwear.

Now, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before that I have a love/hate relationship with the color yellow. It looks horrible on me. (Trust me - it's not good.) Every tone too. I really only like it in small amounts. Accessories and such. I also dislike bows. I'm not entirely sure why but it might have something to do with the fact that I'm the first granddaughter and daughter - therefore the bows came in big numbers in my childhood and I feel that's where they should stay.

Then I post a picture of a yellow bikini with a big giant bow on it?! Yep. It's all the things I dislike, except done in a way that I adore. I still probably wouldn't buy it because unless I suddenly develop the ability to tan...at all, this color of yellow would be atrocious on me. But for you tan women out there: look how cute this is!!


I'm also a fan of these yellow items as well:

I'm still searching for "that perfect purse." I haven't found it yet...well at least not one that I love in my price range. I still love this. I like buckles on accessories too.

This is a cute accessory! It would look fabulous...on tanner people than me. Any women have the scoop on non-orange, non-smelly facial tanners? Anybody?

I love bright pops of color like this. These are simple but I'd love to put them with some cropped jeans or skinny jeans.

I don't know about you, but I love bright colors for pedicures. I always have. I'm drawn to the neon colored nail polish every time I go into the drugstore. I'm not entirely sure why but bright colors on my feet make me happy. Plain and simple. Right now I have bright turquoise toenails with white polka dots. Maybe yellow is next!

These are another one of Jessica Simpson's hot heels. They're called the "Cougar."

I'm loving the ruffle on the back!


The rest of the accessories have nothing to do with motivation towards exercise, but they're fun and they definitely get me excited for when Spring decides to grace us with its presence.


Well today is now Day 2 of my Gettin'-Sexy program. Let the countdown begin!

  2. Hmm, you kind of made me feel guilty for eating chocolate while I was reading this. But I was able to smother that guilt with more chocolate :-) I LOVE those yellow heels--totally want some!
