Bathing suit blues

Well, I tried on a bathing suit this past week in hopes I'd look fabulous on the beach in a few months without having to break a sweat. Unfortunately, it wasn't a pretty sight. How depressing, although my seven year old told me I looked great... So, today in our work newsletter they are offering different work-out classes. I am seriously thinking of going, the pain that it is going to bring won't be fun. How do I get through Christmas...all those goodies!
