I was hoping that after 4 and a half months of Shredding I would be able to post an end of summer picture of myself in a bikini. And I was going to do it too. However, my stomach isn't quite flat enough yet for me to even think about purchasing a bikini much less posing for a picture in one and posting it here for the world to see.
However, I did manage to upgrade my tankini skirt to bikini bottoms this summer and with strategically placed children, I think I look pretty darn good.
And don't even get me started on my arms. My husband and kids are getting tired of me flexing my muscles for them. I was even flexing for my mom the other day. I think I saw her eyes roll around a little bit but she told me how great they looked anyway. (I love you, Mom!)
So I'm going to keep on working out and trying harder to watch what I eat so that next summer I can wear a bikini. That's the plan anyway. (And just for comparison purposes, take a look at me from May of 2008. )

You look great, Beth! You should have just went ahead and wore the bikini. You would have been rockin' it!! :) Keep up the good work.
You look fantastic!! Now if only I didn't fall off the shredding horse...that's no good. No day like today to start back up, right? Or maybe tomorrow. Ugh. I need to exercise. Great job Beth! I'm so proud of you!
Is this the 30 Day Shred by Jillian you are talking about? Wow, I didn't turn out like that, but good for you!! I REALLY need to watch what I eat :)

Hubba Hubba! Rock on. you are looking FAB
You look awesome!!! I wish I had your toned arms. I may seriously have to invest in The Shred. I have gained four pounds since last summer and LAST summer I wanted to lose 5 pounds.
Sob...
Now that I'm 40 my metabolism isn't exactly "speedy" either.
Double sob.
Sucks in gut.
I'd toot and honk too, if I looked like that! Go girl!!
You look great ... even if you didn't have the "strategically placed children"! Good thing you've got great muscles, you'll need them to go after those three year olds in preschool!
Seriously Beth, how could you not think you're ready for a bikni. You are SKINNY MINNIE and TONED! Get a bikni and strut your stuff!!
