Let's Not Get Ahead of Ourselves

Reasons to do a little jig:

1. I can wear my old jeans...WITH a Bella Band, and it is not pretty. I basically have all muffin top to still lose. BUT--I can get in them and wear them if I chose, and the last time I tried 3 weeks ago there was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way. So yay!

2. The scale didn't budge for the first time this week...boooo...but I can do a little jig because of the above, and because a few other things are fitting better. So apparently things are "rearranging."

3. Yesterday, during my 2nd time in the pool since JayZ, I swam 100 yards in under 1:30. My jaw about hit the bottom of the pool. The other 3 100s I did totally blew, but it was a nice little boost for a second!

4. I got a HAWT little Brooks Hoodie Number at my fave local running store. I had a gift certificate from my birthday and had been saving it until I could actually run again. Yahoo! It's officially my comeback shirt.

5. The Buckeyes pulled it off today, and I totally did not expect them to.

Now, why I should NOT do a little jig:

1. Trying on those cute little running skirts on clearance at said local running store is a HORRIBLE IDEA when you've still got 20 pounds or so of muffin top to lose. HORRIBLE. WE'll definitely have to wait a few months for that. Ew.

Comeback clothes are the best. And at this rate you'll be in tiny running skirts in no time. Fantastic work. And 1:30 in the pool! Fantastic

*does the jig for TriSaraTops*

Throw the scale out. Scales bad, jean test good. :)

I was wondering who JayZ was cheering for. I hope Ohio State! He is just going to have to learn that his dad is wrong for liking Michigan. :)

Your still just getting over the baby. Give it time it will come off.

Ohio St sucks. UNC rules and blog baby Z agrees with me on this!

God Steve's gross. Steve, you're gross ;) BUT, yay for you! Better wait for me at the Chi-town mary finish line sis!

Wow, you can wear your old jeans?? Way to go!! I haven't tried in a couple weeks, but then even with the bella band it wasn't pretty.

I actually just bought a running skirt as a comeback gift to myself-- got it online and it is now buried in a drawer until spring when I'll hopefully be able to wear it.
