You know...

What kind of pants are in your closet?  Probably the same ones that are in mine.

The pants you wear when you're having a "feeling fat day".  The pants that you are waiting to get into.  Pants you hold on to, just in case, but you're never going back to those.  Pants you feel good in.  Pants that are just a tad too tight, but a long shirt helps immensely.  Jeans that are fresh out of the dryer or from the line.  You know those pants.  The ones you put on and try all sorts of cardio moves to stretch them before you have to button them.

Well, it was those jeans that I grabbed this morning.  Freshly washed and dried jeans. Here we go.  One leg in.  The other leg in.  Pull them up over the hips.  Suck in the breath, zip, and what?  Is that possible?  Did I just zip and button them without having to perform squats and suck in my stomach?  Could my interval class be working?

What's the motivation?  So glad you asked...


Meet my bridesmaid dress.  Which is ordered.  Which is a size smaller than I thought they would order.  Which needs my hips to try and get rid of three inches so I feel safe wearing it.

Which is why I am headed to intervals again tomorrow.

Jeans on today...dress to come soon!

Love today's slice, Cathy! I'm proud of you for keeping up with your interval class and that you're seeing progress. I can't seem to get motivated and all my pants these days are feeling more like the "good with a long shirt" variety. Yuck. Maybe I need a bridesmaid dress and a picture to push me? Keep up the good work!!

Love your description of all the different kinds of pants. Good for you for going to your interval class especially after a long school day.

I love your description on pants. I so relate to the pants you have to do squats to get into. I am sure your will look great in your brides maid dress. :)
