Introducing Dexie For BTS

Hello I’m Dexie and I am one of the new bloggers for Burning The Scale. And that’s me in the picture. That was taken on May 2007. 9 months after I had my second child. 9 months after losing 35 pounds. My goal after my second child was to be able to wear a 2-piece suit for the swimming season. I was able to reach that goal but never really felt confident to really wear a 2-piece bikini. I lost weight but still I felt a tankini was better. Coz the truth is, I’m not as toned as I want to be. Well 2008 is here and this year is the year I will get into a 2-piece bikini. In a more toned and healthier version of me.

I was telling my fellow BTS co-bloggers which you will meet in the coming days that 2008 is when I will go back to my pre-baby size of 6 but seriously it’s not a realistic goal for me. I have a strange body physique. Right now I wear a size 12 jeans, size 10 in dresses and skirts, and M/L tops. I have what they call a “child bearing hips” which by the way is not a myth because I was in labor for 4 hours for my first child and my second child came out an hour after I was induced. So yes, I can push babies out real fast, My husband and I just can’t afford to support more than 2, LOL. My realistic goal is size 8 in my stature of 5′7.

To end my introduction, not only will you read about my own fitness journey here, I’ll also dish out health tips, news and all that jazz. With my co-bloggers own input, I’m pretty sure BTS is going to be a great place for learning and motivational purposes for our 2008 goals.

Hello and see you around…..
