Making Progress on Swimsuit

I stayed up really late last night to work on the swimsuit. The cover up portion is taking way longer than I thought it would, but it's almost done. Then I am moving on to the bottom. My goal is to be able to post pics of the completed swimsuit on Feb.3 with my weightloss progress check. I hurt my back yesterday and spent most of the afternoon and evening with a heating pad on my back. It feels better today, but either way, it won't affect my cardio I plan to do today.

The Challenge

I have this idea, it's pretty simple. I want to lose weight. I love to crochet. Much of what I would like to make for myself would NOT look good on me at this point. So here's my idea: I am going to choose the patterns I love most and crochet them in the REALISTIC goal size that I choose and over the next several months, I'll work my way into them.I am going to follow the Body for life program. Here's the hitch (which as a crocheter will kill me). I can only buy yarn if I am staying true the program. Cheat and I lose out on the yarns I'm dying to use. Using a blog is just my way of staying accountable to the program. I hate the idea of posting pics of myself, but I want to lose weight more and need a way to stay motivated. I start January 2nd. I have 3 small children and a busy life. This isn't going to be easy!
