Bathing suit shopping: Let the fun begin!

Sometime after work I found myself staring at my reflection in the changing room at a sports shop. It was not a place I like to be often. I can safely say I bet most women also dread being in the same spot I was today. You see I was shopping for a bathing suit.


A while back I decided to start swimming. I used to love swimming at Jack Purcell in Ottawa. It’s a great body toner and it’s easy on my poor body. I’m only 20 minutes away from the closest lake. I had nothing stopping me from jumping in a lake when I felt like it.
Save for the fact, I didn’t own a suit. Hence the reason I found myself shuddering at my reflection on Friday afternoon. I finally bit the bullet and grabbed a bunch of one piece speedos to squeeze my body into. Good times. There was no way in heck I would try on two pieces. I didn’t want to ruin my weekend.

I was still carrying a full belly from lunch. So you know I looked even more like a pig in a blanket. I settled on a pretty blue and white one-piece speedo with a racer back. Thankfully all the lycra sucked in all my extra stuff. I left a happy shopper and excited to get into the water.
