Mistake

Have you ever made this mistake? I was feeling pretty good about myself weight-wise, so I decided to wear a pair of pants that I haven't been able to fit into for quite some time. At home, they looked a little snug, but not ridiculous. I just went to the bathroom at work and I feel HORRIBLE. My thighs look like sausages, my butt looks ginormous, and I have a muffin-top.

Sigh... so much for the old self-esteem.

I didn't do too bad yesterday--I ran six miles and walked one. I had a pretty healthy breakfast and lunch, a normal sized (but probably pretty high-calorie) dinner with my friends, and a few glasses of wine. I'm sure the salt and the alcohol have me holding some water, so I'm refusing to consult the scale.

I'm going to try and run 4 miles tonight, but it's SO DAMN HOT outside. If it's just too miserable, I'll do my strength training workout (for real this time) tonight and run in the morning.

I hate these pants so much right now.

YES!

I have so done that before.  I did it a few weeks ago.  I ended up taking a half day from work because I was so miserable with how I looked.  But it's just one outfit/one day.  You know that those pants will be falling off of you soon!

What???

Are they a size 0 or something?  At your height and weight, given the fact that you run ALL THE TIME, how in the world could you possibly have a muffin top and sausage thighs???  Somehow I just cannot picture it.  Clearly if you have any excess fat on you at all, it MUST be bloating from water weight.  Clearly.  Clearly.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!

Have a great day!!
