And why not? I have every confidence in myself that this year is the year I take my health a lot more serious. Mostly because my mami's current list of illnesses scared the bejeezuz out of me, and partly because I have a 7-year-old that seems to be fueled by Energizer.
Now I know this initiative is called Operation Bikini Body, but when I looked at the suits Victoria's Secret had to offer, I realized:
1- I can't wear that ish! I'm somebody's mami (with the scars to prove it)!!
2- I hate halter tops, and 95% of their separates were halters
3- No matter what I will weigh in May, I'm not going to want to draw attention to myself. A bikini, in Puerto Rico, by a large-breasted Dominicana might just draw unwanted attention my way.
So I looked at these instead:

And then this bikini top IF worn with the proper bottoms and cover up:
