15 Weeks to go, I wore the bathroom jeans today
on 3/8/09 2:24 pm
I had to stop trying mine on once a week because I wasn't seeing enough progress and so I started doing it like every 2 or 3 weeks that way I know they will feel looser. They will fit properly by the 31st. That gives me 3 weeks to have them on my ass and be able to breath. LOL
I did a walk / run yesterday. My knees are protesting because I also did 20 minutes of a spin class. I think I could grow to like spinning. I am going to do a couple of classes during my lunch hour this week. My goal is to be able to do an entire class by this coming Saturday.
I bought some new Asics running shoes yesterday after my workout. I wish I'd have had them earlier. They make all the difference. So I am anxious t give them a try.
This time change has me beat. I didn't work out today. After church, I had a small salad with some chicken, bought a new flat panel TV, and came home and went to bed. I got some much needed completion sleep. That's what I get for partying so hard last night. My girl friend had a party last night and you know I was all up in there.
But, I will get back on the wagon tomorrow. Be sure to let me know what the plan is. I bought some new jeans yesterday. I was wearing some that had gotten too big. I literally walked into Lane Bryant and tried some new ones on and wore them out of the store. LOL. I am down from 26-28 to 18-20. My short-term goal is not to have to shop at Lane Bryant and Avenue. By size 16, I am going to be out of those stores. I know I've got to do a big exercise push to make this next goal. So, I'm with ya.

Hi Gatormom
Bathroom jeans are jeans you can't fit, you hang them up in your bathroom or somewhere you will see them everyday so that it is always in your mind your goal to fit back into them.
My eating plan is just keeping my carbs between 100 -150 a day and eating a very clean diet. Meaning I eat a lot of chicken and a ton of fish and nothing fried or what would be considered "bad." I allow myself one snack on Saturday and I eat well the rest of that day, it is not a free day it is a ONE snack day but I stay on track.
I workout at least 1 or 2 times daily everyday except Sunday. I am doing the Couch to 5K along with the biggest loser and Jillian Michaels videos.
My goal is to be a size 10 or 12 jeans by late June when I leave for my trip to Egypt and S. Africa, that means I have 15 weeks left.
I made a bet that today I would wear my bathroom jeans no matter how tight they were because when I first started I couldn't get them past my knees, well I wore them for 2 hours outside running around and while they were tight as hell I wore them buttoned up the entire time. By the 31 they will fit normally.
My life is like McDonalds....I'm Lovin It

Becca kept pointing out girls in jeans saying that their jeans were tight and that is how you wear them. But I am so use to wearing baggy clothes the slightest bit of fitting makes me uncomfortable. So they really weren't as tight as I make out, I just like really loose jeans.
So you wore yours for a hour too. Ok, Ashley 3 weeks from now we will put those "bathroom jeans" on again and they will fit perfectly.
