Put on my fave pair of denim capri's this morning that a month ago were too small. Imagine 10 pounds of shit shoved into a 5 pound bag and you will get the idea. Muffin top overflow, gunt pushing out through the zip. Butt crack city and you should always so "NO!" to crack. Very people-o'-Walmart™ and most unattractive.
However, this morning I saw them on the floor of my wardrobe where I had flung them in disgust the last time I attempted to wear them and they were daring me to put them on. Calling to me if you will. And they slipped on easily and zipped up smoothly. The merest hint of a muffin top so I wouldn't wear a midriff top (not that I ever would mind you) but I floated on air on my commute to work today.
I guess I have deliberately avoided trying them on until now as I hadn't wanted to tempt fate. Or perhaps I didn't really believe that this PCP thing was working despite what the scales said. I mean who would have thought that such results were possible in just 36 days.
I have done my exercises religiously and have kept to the diet 98%. No sneaks or cheats with chocolate which is most unlike me. But I am finding the diet easy to manage and stick to - mainly as I am not out much socially because of Max. Some days it is hard to face the rope but then I just think "Just Fucking Do It" and it is done. The social networking aspect of this program is what keeps up the motivation.
That said, I still have a long way to go before I will be completely satisfied. I have been thinking that at this rate I will probably need an extra 30 days or so after the 90 days to get to where I really want to be. I guess I will assess that again after the next month. But so far I am going strong and motivated.
Top work m'lady.
ReplyDeletenice! good result from the first and easiest month of 3mths
ReplyDeleteTracey that is absolutely fantastic. LOVE the description of capri fit pre PCP. That must have felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. And just think, Patrick told us our muffin tops will slowly start disappearing in the next week or so. Save this space for more exploits on the wardrobe front. You will soon have to start contemplating a "new: wardrobe. I was stoked in Lilywhites yesterday when I tried on new exercise tops from Nike. In the past I had to be XL, I took L because I do like them a bit baggy, but M would have worked too. Just don't like emphasising protruding C-section belly with its oodles of visceral fat.
ReplyDeleteTracey- awesome going. Admire your discipline. Look forward to seeing the photos of you in your capris on FlickR
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to getting back into Zara and H&M here later on this summer. I have enough fat clothes to see me through for the moment so I plan to have a new fall wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you are noticing it on yourself too Conny. I know all about the c-section belly - I call it a "gunt" but it is kinda harsh term.
Inés - when I commit to something, boy do I commit. I usually procrastinate on stuff for ages before I start as I know that when I get going, I take it all the way. Hubbilicious working lots this week so not sure if I can get snaps done but I will ask him nicely.
You go girl!
