lalicopaTotal vanity update, don't click unless you're prepared:
I finally decided that I had to add cardio to the gym routine. If I'm taking a class, I try to do at least 15 minutes on the elliptical. If I'm not taking a class, I do it for 35 minutes and then do the treadmill. I was never able to run, and now I'm up to running for over 10 minutes at a stretch.
Best part? There are NO jeans in my closet that are too tight, including the ones I wore in HIGH SCHOOL. I pulled out a pair of jeans this morning that I bought knowing they were too tight when I lost some weight a couple of years ago. I put them on and they're actually kinda loose. I double checked the label, and they're 10's. Is it actually possible I'm headed to single-digit sizes? Holy moly.
I just had to snap a picture of the loose 10's. I'd write it off as saying they run big, but they fit just like the other barely worn 10's in my closet, and I remember how tight they were when I thought I was thin a few years back.
Can I get a hallelujah?
I've still got belly to lose, it's so stubborn. Maybe once Ella's weaned, whenever that may be. I'm just so proud of myself for sticking with the gym and for actually getting results.
Check out those guns. :-)
ETA: I realize that these look like such MOM jeans, but I swear they have flared bottoms and look pretty cool.
