Yesterday....




I wore a pair of my size 14 skinny jeans.....they have been the test jean....you know the one you try on and swear like a sailor because you look horrible and how did this happen @#&! Then you throw them back in the closet, slam the door and search for chocolate!! I have been working out hard I really have...I've struggled on the food part but made lots of changes and good choices. That should totally count for something right...right ! So I have totes and totes in my basement of Size 8,10,12,14 and currently wearing a 16! I'm not happy about it or plan to stay in that size long....so I don't own a lot of pants,  maybe 5! 2 jeans, one cargo, one cord and a dress pant. Why invest a lot when I have totes and totes of sizes to pick from. The problem is I've been in a 16 for a long while now .....more than 6 months. 

So yesterday I played in the snow with Sophie soaking wet wearing my current favorite cargo.....Had 15 minutes before dinner date with Hubby.....run in closet @#&! should have done laundry nothing to wear.....So I grab the Skinny Jean hiding in the corner...put them on and zip them up .........! They zipped , I could kick, I could bend, I could stretch! It was a go......I probably should of thrown on a pair of Spanx to seal the deal but I was late! 

Did I celebrate the fact I was wearing a size lower...maybe for a minute in my mind by myself! We went to dinner made bad choices there ...in my defense I had no other choice we shared a pizza and had to have a beer....! 


I couldn't get home fast enough and take off the @#$!@#$! skinny jeans....I lasted 3.5 hours in them! Omg....! They are not ready for me yet....back in the corner they go! But this morning I thought to my size 16 self.....wow wait a minute everybody knows 2 day jeans are the best....So those babies my see the light of day very soon!

So today is another day....refocus, make good choices and love the skin I'm in!

Not me!

  4. I remember the "lie on the bed- zip days!" I think every decade deserves some sort of skinny fashion...I hope there is one for skinny necks!
    Good for you....keep up the dedication!

  5. Just catching up with you on this new blog.... you and I are on the same journey this year. I had a "bad" year last year and let it catch up with me and it shows. I am so mad at myself....

    I feel your pain at hurrying home to get your jeans off. I have done that so many times!!

  9. i used to struggle with my weight..nothing big just always those last five pounds and i can totally relate to your post. but props for being able to fit into skinny jeans! i wear something called jeggings now. they are like jeans and leggings so much stretchier and forgiving. and they loosen after a few wears so it always feels good at the end of the week before a wash. keep it up! don't punish yourself for indulging once in a while. you need it to reset your metabolism anyway :)
