I put on a bikini today — I was at a hotel pool — and I'm pleased to announce that I am currently overjoyed with the way my body looks! I realized that I felt better, but I hadn't realized that I LOOKED so much better.

My butt is actually firming up! My thighs are too! I feel like I look like I'm sixteen again — well, at least in that aspect. I'm still doing the same routine that I've been doing, but its getting easier and easier. It doesn't feel like a chore like I thought it would, it's actually kind of fun. It's actually kind of empowering.

I mean, I used to dread being half naked in public, now I'm seeking out opportunities to do it! And did I mention that I got a date out of it? I did! I was sitting at the pool, reading a magazine, a gorgeous man came over and sat down beside me. We started chatting, and before I knew it I had a date for dinner that night. We had a fantastic time. Talk about a confidence booster.

Now if FWW could only post some videos on how to get rid of stretch marks...
