I Have Holes in My Pants!

The title of this post has two meanings:

1. I have always been heavier on my bottom…big hips, big thighs, big butt. Therefore, my thighs rub together when I walk. So much sometimes, in fact, that I have put holes in my pants where my thighs rub against each other. Only on a couple occasions. Emburrrrrassing.
2. I want to fit into these pants again:

…which have a couple holes in them. But I BOUGHT them with the holes (the distressed look). And these DID for me at a point in my life. They fit me when I met Justin, actually. These are the size 6 non-stretch denim pair of pants that I told you about. It would excite me beyond belief to fit back into these pants.

The day will come.

I also want to fit into this dress:

…which fits snug enough to show that awkward love handle/butt/saddle bag area…you know…that lump. No? Okay. Maybe it’s just me.

And this skirt:

…this GORGEOUS black lace skirt that never fit me. It was one of those “it will fit me someday” purchases. A “If I lose a few more pounds it will be perfect” kind of purchase. At least I was smart enough to buy a timeless piece like this, though.

From doing less than two weeks of the T25 workouts, I can already start to see and feel the changes in my body. It is slowly transforming and I am becoming addicted to the control that I finally took of my eating and exercise habits.

I know I’m not a (very) big girl, but I do have some weight to lose. It’s not about the number on the scale for me anymore, it’s about how I’m feeling in my own skin…and my clothes. I have always been overly critical of myself and I wear clothes to hide my flaws. I don’t want to do that anymore!

Sleeveless tops and dresses, skirts, and…

A BIKINI!

Coming soon…

 

ANOTHER Special Anouncement!

Remember how I told you I had three special announcements?

Well this one came in the mail earlier than I expected!

After grocery shopping with Justin, I came home to see this bad boy at my door! I am so excited to start this tomorrow!

It came with Shakeology:

Chocolate, of course.

I will be posting reviews, sharing recipes, and share more details about the nutrition in future posts.

It also came with all of this! Eleven workout DVDs, a resistance band, a poster to keep track of your accomplishments, a “fast track guide” to help get you started with the program, and a nutrition guide.

I AM STARTING TOMORROW, Saturday, the 15th of March. The Ides of March. I am sharing this because I am now accountable and I will look like a douche if I don’t follow through with this program. See what I’m saying? My Beach Body Coach is Jessica, my best friend. Who knows, I may even become a coach myself if I like the results!

I will be posting a combination of my own recipes, and recipes influenced by this program. I promise that it will be a good thing. Yes, I was a personal trainer, and YES, I do have fitness and nutrition knowledge, but I really needed a kick in the ass to lose my big ass. I no longer have a gym membership, and this is my replacement.

I would write more, but I must get ready for work now…sitting at a desk all day.

Stay tuned!
