Now that I am back to work I needed some nylons/tights. I had a brand new pair of tights that I had owned for over 15 years that I wore for the first two weeks of work, but after several washings and some runs in the abdomen part - they were literally falling off of me and had to be tossed. I really wanted to get new tights at Lane Bryant but I just wasn't in the mood to head over there (way past my house). So I stopped at CVS.
Over fifteen years ago I used to by Just My Size nylons/tights at CVS. Now as I stand here in the isle and look at the package I was SO disappointed. In my head, "what do you mean the weight cut off is 300? I am 330.. I wonder if they will fit. Those ones that I bought from Target are too tight in the upper leg, but I think that they were a smaller range than these. WTH, did the Just My Size people not get the memo that we are a heavier nation now than we were 15 years ago? Why wouldn't they make these bigger instead of making them smaller..." I put the package back on the shelf.
Brow furrowed and scowling face - I was ticked off. I really didn't want to go to Lane Bryant but I was worried that they would be too tight given that I was about 30lbs over the 300 / 5'7" max size on the back of the box. As I started to walk to the front of the store feeling very defeated I realized.. omg.. I am 233lbs! Not 333lbs!
With a huge grin, and literally laughing out loud I go back to the shelf and grab a few boxes and head up to check out.
Clearly after losing these last 69lbs in a year my brain hasn't caught up with my body. =)

Wendy and I both loved this entry.
ReplyDeleteThought you might enjoy this. Wait, I already commented on this and said I couldn't believe you were 233. You must look like a whole different person! So exciting!

Oooh! I love that article. Andrea and I recently had this discussion and her training basically said that ultimately both are right - cardio first then strength, or strength first then cardio - that the real bottom line goal is to keep your muscles confused. Doing the exact same routine for more than a week your muscles get used to the routine and find an efficient way to get through the workout. By changing it up for muscle confusion is the way to ultimately burn the most fat. Thanks for sharing this Jamie. I am going to switch my routine around for awhile (I was doing cardio then strength) and see how it goes! =)
ReplyDeleteLove ya both!
