Check in- Leger- July 1

Well, it is July 1... And I am not wearing a bikini (in public)...and I am ok with that. I really feel like I am doing good enough. When is good enough, good enough? For me, it is when I know I am eating as healthy as I can, except on a rare occasion. Good enough is knowing that I am exercising 5 days a week and my clothes are fitting well. Most importantly, good enough is when I feel good and my doctor has given me a clean bill of health. I am doing good enough...

Not too long ago, I thought being able to strut my stuff in a bikini like a 20 something year old again was good enough. Well at 38 years old, after two C-sections and gall bladder surgery, I can tell you that goal, absent a cosmetic surgeon to the stars, is not attainable. I don't want surgery and I think life is too short not to skip a few workouts on occasion and have an ice cream sundae every now and then... Right???

Below is me last week on vacation in Rhode Island. I am not perfect but my bathing suit fits. I gained a few pounds while there, but I had a great time. I won't be showing off my belly anytime soon, but I will be showing off my smile... And THAT is good enough!

I will continue eating clean and sticking to my workouts, but won't worry about being bikini perfect!

I started running while away and it kinda stuck. I am only doing about 2 miles right now in about 19 minutes ( on the street). I won't be winning (or running) any marathons soon, but seeing as running has never been my thing, I am psyched that I am actually enjoying it. I would like to get up to 5 street miles by the end of August. Time to get some serious running sneaks! I'll keep you posted!
