Are you ready for swimsuit season?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, it’s coming. Whether we’re ready or not.
Now that the water restrictions for neighborhood pools have been lifted and the school year is winding down, there’s no way around it it, it’s time to switch from parkas to swimsuits.
Obviously those baggy sweaters are good for more than just keeping warm. After months of comfort food, and a bit of overindulging, many of us need to deal with those extra pounds that snuck up during the chilly winter months.
Luckily, these pristine sun-filled days are energizing. I find myself out more, away from the fridge, whether it’s going for a walk or puttering in the garden. I also find myself craving healthier foods like fresh fruit and grilled fish and chicken, so that helps.
But there’s still that bathing suit that needs to be tried on or updated and I am doing my best to avoid that inevitable encounter.
What do you do to get ready for swimsuit season…or do you just not care? What are your best ways to quickly get in shape? How much of it is exercise and how much is diet?
