number on the scale

so, as you know, a while ago i had a fitness goal to bikini ready by the time I made it to hawaii. unfortunately that didn't happen. school and homework and other things got in the way.

A few days ago I stepped on the scale and reached a number I've never been before. 150. now that isn't overweight, its in the healthy zone. for some people, 150 is a great number- assuming those pounds are muscle instead of fat.
I of course, am made of fat. so i've become motivated once again.
I want to be able to get back to 130. I want to be able to not spill out bras that weren't bought too long ago. I want to be able to wear more dresses and tops and not worry about the buttons puckering or gaping or my boobs making me look top heavy.
Thankfully the first two places that I gain weight are my stomach/midsection and my breasts.

This summer I'm working at a theatre camp for kids, ages 6-7, so I'm hoping that this does a lot of good for me. I'll be active 6 hours a day 5 days a week. playing with the kids, dancing with them, being on my feet, etc. Also, with my sister also having a job that is 5 days a week, I am going to have to bike to work which is a blessing in disguise. It's only about 4 miles to work. I took the bike trip today and it took me about 35 minutes.

So 35 minute bike ride (cardio), then 6 hours of work, then 35 minute bike ride home. AND my family will hopefully be getting some sort of exercise machine, an elliptical or  a treadmill or something. (my parents gave me a 3 month gym membership for my birthday to use during the summer, but this makes more sense) So I'm hoping that staying active and biking and not just sitting around all the time will help.

I'm going to my boyfriend's sister's wedding at the end of the month. which is 25 days from now. I'm hoping that having three weeks of work, and biking every day, and hopefully watching what I eat and how much, drinking plenty of water, and getting that treadmill for extra workouts on the weekends. so maybe with all of that, I'll be able to lose even just 5 lbs (in my chest) and i'll be able to fit into this great little dress that i just bought (but pushed my boobs down in an awkward way). It's a beautiful dress. and i want to be beautiful in it.

not that i'm doing this just for vanity's sake. i'm doing it to get healthy and also to save myself some money. If i keep gaining weight, i'll have to buy new clothes that i can fit into. If i lose some weight, I'll be able to continue wearing what i've got (not that i wouldn't mind a new wardrobe)

here's hoping. :)
