Swimsuits, losers, & playdates... oh my.

Sooo, swimsuit season. Not a fan. Never was. And it doesn't help that now I have many more flaws to cover up.

But I went shopping anyway. Had GA on the phone for virtual moral support. I decided to get an athletic one vs a fashion-y one, because I really will be swimming more for exercise and won't be laying around a pool or beach. The local athletic store had Speedos for less than $40 each- awesome deal! So I bought one of those.

The trying-on process was murderous, though. I originally thought I was one size and was pleased to see I was right. Then I tried on different styles in the same size, and they were way too small. Huh. So I checked the size of the first one I had tried on. It was marked wrong and was actually a size bigger. Bummer. So I'm a little larger than I thought, which really sucks, but I did manage to find one that doesn't make me look like a big muumuu.

By the way, if this is baby weight, then how come I have back fat? I mean, I didn't carry the boy in the back. Dammit.

Just to add insult to injury, I watched the Biggest Loser last night. It was makeover week, and everyone looked good- some even looked a decade younger. But at the end of the show, they revealed that Sam and Stephanie were living together. WTF?? Didn't see that one coming. She's kind of bitchy, and he's so laidback. Anyway, the show gave me motivation to work out this morning.

Five o'clock in the AM. Yeesh. Tough, but necessary if I want to push my body back into those pre-pregnancy clothes (and swimsuits!). I also took the boys to the park today and met up with a friend of mine and her daughter. We let the kids play around, then headed to lunch. LB actually ate what I ordered for him, which were essentially chicken nuggets, but prepared like how I make them, not like McD's. It was nice to get out with someone who also says "sit down" every ten seconds and understands that just because I'm picking my kid's hands out of my water glass doesn't mean I'm not listening. :) It was a good time, then we ran a few errands before heading home.

Tonight, since it's Cinco de Mayo (and because we're SOOOOOO mexican), I'm making chicken fajitas. I was planning on making horchata, which is this mexican rice drink- I recommend trying it if you can find it at a restaurant or something. So yummy! But I'm rethinking it because it involves a lot of work. Hm. Maybe I'll try. But I'm not promising anything.

Hopefully, tonight's meal won't completely undo the squats and lunges I did this morning. Gotta fit into that damn swimsuit!

PS- This poison oak is killing me!
