Every summer the Land's End catalog comes in the mail and taunts me with its pretty new bathing suits. Sure I've purchased bathing suits before but I have to be honest it has been a long, long, long time. My last bathing suit was from my 20's I believe and it died and slow and painful death. The one I'm using now...I will whisper where it's from (it's my Mom's and I have no idea what year it is from). Pathetic I know. But this kid who grew up with a pool and went on to become a lifeguard had her share back in the day and I guess I used up some strange bathing suit points early in life. When we joined the pool not only did I worry about squishing myself into a bathing suit but then I realized I really didn't have one.
This coming Wednesday I will hit my four week point on WW. I have played around with losing this weight here and there. I have made goals but I have never written them down...until now. I have an actual thermometer with goals. Ya know how they have the huge signs with how much money is raised for a charity and the goals that they are hitting? Yep, one of those but it's only on a small piece of 8x11 paper not a billboard. My ten pound goal was to get a new bathing suit. Today as I weighed in I saw the numbers that meant I had a new bathing suit coming to me. One that didn't have such worn elastic that the shoulders kept falling down. One that was brand new. One that fit. Wouldn't you know I received an email this afternoon from a little company named Land's End. I'm most certain they heard about my goal and how I had achieved success and sent it for the special occasion. 25% off of any item and free shipping. Add that to the current sale and I just ordered my $99 suit for about $40!!! I don't know what I am more excited about the weight loss or the pretty new suit. See you at the pool in my new black bathing suit...I'll be the one treading water for 1 activity point and shooting for those new sneakers!!!
