I need to remember not to push myself to hard trying to look perfect in a bikini by the time I visit my family in AL, 'cause it ain't gonna happen. Overall, I'm okay with how I look. I'm just not ready to bare the ol' midriff. I have a one-piece and a couple tankini things I feel somewhat comfortable in, so I should be ok.

The strange thing is, I saw an article in a magazine (Allure, I think) that was recommending colors of bathing suits based on skin tone. For pale skin, it said dark colors or black! Wow, I've been doing that anyway, but didn't think it was what I was supposed to do. Kind of like how they always want blond/pale people to wear pink or pastel clothing and makeup - not gonna do it (not prudent at this juncture). I do have a bright red bikini, but it'll be a while before I don that thing in public ever again.

So, I'd better quit procrastinating now, or I'll be a two-time slacker. Fucking aerobics...
