New jeans a waste…at least for now

CD 8

I’m proud to say that I have exercised every day this year. Ya, I know that it’s only been 15 days, but 15 days in a row is pretty damn good. Every day I’ve done at least 30 minutes on the stairmaster thingy I borrowed from my mummy and then the lovely and not in the least bit embarrassing shake weight. One day I only did the shake weight, but that was the day I had a REALLY awful migraine and I almost puked. But I was stubborn and wanted to be able to say “every day this year” since it’s more fun.

As a result of this, I’ve been thinking that I was seeming slimmer (probably would add more if I wasn’t bingeing on junk food, gotta work on that) and today when I was in town with my mummy, she gave me the “hunny, your pants  are kinda sagging in the bum” and I had notice the waist felt pretty loose. My first thought way “YAY!” but then moved to the “I just bought these jeans two weeks ago because I’d grown out of my other ones”. I guess I’ll be moving back to my old one…and it’s only one because I worn the snot out of my other favorite pair. Maybe if I keep them in freshly washed mode it wont be so noticeable.

Then again, maybe I’ll need to buy new small jeans so I have more than one pair for when I have these downward fluctuations.

Day one of a new year

CD 24 DPO 9

I don’t make new years resolutions. To me, it’s just one more thing to cop-out of. But with everyone making them, as they always do, and because I’ve been obsessing over this non-pregnant gut I’m starting here….I stall act as though I have made a resolution. Even though I didn’t. I found a stair master / stepper thingy in my mummy’s basement today. It’s been there for about 2 years as a hanging rack. She can’t use it because it kills her knees…which means that I may have the same problem…but I’m wanting to give it a go.

So, my plan it to use it every day for at lease 30 minutes…while watching TV.  You’re not thinking about it while watching TV, right? And then I’ll just hope my knees don’t go all stiff and swell like they do when I run (not a clue why they do that, do you?). I’m also motivated to go out and get one of those shake weights (you know the girls that look like they’re showing some dude a great time but it’s just a dumb bell). It looks funny to me, but the reviews for it are pretty good (amazon) so I think I’ll find me one. And then I can look like a freak in front of my hubby…but preferably while I’m not in front of him.
