Em.
Goodness gracious, sweet Baby Jesus.
That is what ran through my brain as I tried to figure out WHYYYYY I could not get my jeans (the same size 10 skinnies that fit so great, a mere 3 weeks ago) up over my tail this morning. The Hubs reassured me that I was looking "much better" than when I started this new workout program four weeks ago. He observed that my waist looks smaller, and my booty is rounder. Of course, he's got no complaints. Who am I mad at???
Voice of Reason says: Why you trippin? You know you are sore as crap today. Yesterday, you were whining that it hurt to sit down. So there is quite possibly a whole lotta water being retained in your glutes and thighs, thanks to DOMS. Or else you are building muscle, and it's probably pushing out the fat before burning that biznatch. And don't forget that your body composition is changing. You are eating well, working out HARD and generally doing the gollygoshdarn thing. Either way, there's no need to panic. Chill out...
I'll admit it. I was tempted, for a minute, to give up. But that is sooo Old Me, and I'm trying to find a New Me. So I'll just press on and see what happens.
In other news, remember when everyone was cised over these friendship bracelets?
Target is charging $4.00 a pop. Maybe I should start my bracelet business back up! Whatchu think?
I'm proud of you for sticking with your plan! I have not been able to do that myself. I've been gaining a bit, then losing a bit...and still feeling blah. I have thought about getting Dance Central for the Xbox (which is a really good full-body workout and you won't even realize it until the next day when you can't move).
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about starting up a friendship bracelet biz, too...seeing how they're back with a vengeance. We used to crank them out for no good reason at all, then stacked them on our wrists and ankles.
