And as awful as that is to admit, as much as I hate I am doing something about it. Today I was able to zip and comfortably wear my favorite pair of brown pinstriped pants to work. Last week I couldn't even zip them. I worked out when I wanted to go to bed. I am going to bed on time after a post workout snack of Greek yogurt and blueberries. I am making progress and I will continue to make more. Soon I won't have a post with embarrassing details but one with details that will make everyone want to jump up and cheer. Soon I will wave good bye to my fat lady arms and pack up my mommy pooch. I am excitedly working towards that day.

Embarrassing Details
I hate jumping jacks. Not the jumping, or at least not solely. Not because my feet hurt or because I get out of breath. I hate jumping jacks because of the way my fat flaps and flops and slaps against me. The "mommy" pooch I gained after the boys, the fat old lady arms... they all disgust me. I used to be able to tell myself that I might be overweight but I carried it well. I could look at my arms and think "at least I don't have fat lady arms" I can't say that any more.

I definitely understand where you are coming from. I used to hate jumping jacks as well. Now I'm a jumping fool! lol Just know that, even though they are uncomfortable now, that will leave as you continue to make progress.
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO on being able to zip and COMFORTABLY wear those pants. I know how great that feels! Sweet post.
Congratulation on your pants zipping again ~ that is great!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the way everything jiggles during the fire drill when I run in place and cannot wait until the day I don't feel that during a workout!!
Congrats on the zippage! Finally saw your super kind post on my blog and stumbled my way over here... (I'm not too fond of the jumping either)...
ReplyDeleteMy last baby was born 23 years ago and I still have the mommy pouch. I'm convinced there is a kangaroo hiding in there. Thank you so much for the kind words on my blog. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
