*just ten more pounds*

My brain can’t seem to get the message across to my body and I am stuck in another weight loss plateau hell! Thinking that short of divine intervention, the new polka dot bikini hanging in the *front* of my closet is not going to get the time of day this summer ….

iTrain comes at a perfect time in my life.

Why is it that when the countdown towards summertime begins, everyone is on a race to lose the extra pounds that they have gained during the winter months? And why is it that when the weather gets breezy and sunny, the first thing we think about is “beach” and “bikini” and then “diet”?

Even one of my girlfriends asked me the other day for some advice on how to lose an inch on two just in time for “bikini weather”. So, I said “Shelly, you want to lose an inch or two by tomorrow?” and she said “yeah”. Maybe I should be a little bit more sympathetic, but, it is unrealistic to want to look like a Baywatch babe overnight. Having a beautiful body needs preparation, planning, and working hard to achieve the goal. There is no shortcut around it.
