The Blahs

Everyone gets them and I have also been diagnosed with "The Blahs". Isn't it funny how easy it is to get out of a routine (one that has good benefits---strangely I have no problems with "bad" routines) and hard to get back into it? I did make it to bootcamp this morning and yesterday morning, but with not feeling 100% and having all these drugs in my system, I'm not gonna lie it's a struggle. No worries, I am going to push through - cause ultimately I feel better after doing it and feel more centered / balanced (OK - less nutty, and dare I say *itchy!)

So I decided that I needed to do something to help a bit. I got out the biggest pair of jeans that I had saved. They are size 18w and full of stretch. Honestly, I could not even fit into them until I had lost about 20 lbs and what I was wearing at the time really wasn't fitted (that I can recall) so I just kept this pair of jeans. Anyway, first I compared them to a new pair of bermuda's that I recently got (and absolutely love!)...


Then I figured what the hell. Let's put these puppies on and see what they look like and take some crappy and somehow weirdly iridescent pictures (sorry). At this point I can even put myself into one leg of the pants. It's kinda freaky...


I can't say that I suddenly was all gung ho, but it did remind me of how far I've come. I need make the time to do a before/after thing as well. It has been a number of years since I've done that.

Great Pics!! The Blahs....I get them more than I care to admit. You will push through this and probably help me along the way! I am going to use you for my September exercise guru for a work challenge.

Hang in there! You look amazing!
