Toes are so sausagey. |
I'd like to say that my goal for next week is to hit 145, but it's not. I'm starting to get a loss less concerned with that number on the scale and a lot more concerned with how I feel. There are problem areas I'm trying to focus on so my goals are based a little more on those. For example, I'd like to fill the ass of my pants a little more, I don't have much of an ass. Not many people know this, untilllllll now. I drink a bunch of water at work during the day so I pee, A LOT. Every time I pee, I use the big stall because there's no space to exercise in the little stall. So here's my secret, I do 10 squats every time I pee. By the end of the work day I've usually done 70 or 80 squats and my ass hurts, so I'll call that a win. Don't lie, you're thinking about doing it too. Careful though, if you do it with pants on you can sometimes create a mean case of sag ass by stretching out the ass. Personally I go pantless, I know I know, you're surprised. Happy squatting!
Typical day. Yep that's a vneck tshirt. |
Today's grown-up outfit. |
So in my field (I'm artsy fartsy), I've gotten to be my age and not really had to deal with looking allll that professional. I mean, y'all have seen my outfits, and I get away with a lot of odd stuff for working in a "corporate" environment. Well, we have some dinner tonight and a meeting tomorrow and when I said, "Can we wear jeans to dinner?" my boss thought I was joking and everyone chuckled. Well guess what, I was fucking serious. I went shopping this weekend and got a couple things to make me look like less of a hippie and more of a corporate 20 something. Today, I'd venture to say that I kind of look like a grown-up! I didn't opt for heels but wedges are close, right? And the pants I'm wearing actually fit me. Nevermind the fact that all of my female coworkers are wearing dresses, womp womp. Oh well. Joke's on them when I take my cardigan off later and start selling tickets to the gun show.
Flexbreak. I know I know, I'm a douche. |
I'm gonna start dressing more like a grown-up. You heard it here first. As soon as I find a money tree, harvest its leaves and go on a shopping spree. Maybe this Spring, we'll see I guess. I just don't wanna look all old. When did you start dressing like a grown-up?
Happy hump day! My feet hurt.
Oh I am totally stealing your squatting idea... I seriously pee a million times a day! Now I don't have a problem filling up my jeans cuz momma's got an apple bottom if ya know what I'm sayin' ... but the apple could use some liftin' so I'm down with the potty squats ... thanks friend!
ReplyDeleteSo stealing the squatting idea....and I have to ask when you first started losing weight did you have your bad weekends? I have around 35 pounds to lose and when I do bad on the weekends, I NEVER LOSE. I always gain weight from the weekend and then work all week to get it off...its a vicisous cycle. I can't believe you lost two pounds this week!!! That is huge.
ReplyDeleteSteal away! I was pretty strict when I first started and have definitely loosened up a bit. If (and by if I mean when) I make a sucky food decision over the weekend I usually try to cancel it out by making time for a gym session!
DeleteDressing like a grownup only works if LOFT continues to have 40% and 50% off random sales that BLOW UP my email...I "dress like a grownup" daily for work, but I take my shoes off and sit indian style in my chair, TAKE THAT CORPORATE WORLD!
ReplyDeletePS - I'm that girl that wears dresses all the time, don't hate me!
I started dressing like a grown up (most of the time) when I realized that I could actually look stylish and attractive in "grown up" clothes. You can too, so come to New York and let's go Spring shopping!
ReplyDeleteGreat squat idea!!! I have the same 'no ass' problem as you! I've also started body pump and was going hard core at the gym before that and have noticed I'm actually starting to form an ass! I started dressing like an adult at 17. Womp Womp. My first job was at a bank and the only options for dress clothes and being a fatty was old lady clothes!
ReplyDeleteAhhh hahaha! Boom! Tickets to the gun show!!
ReplyDeleteFunny shit!

I like to dress up so that's not really a problem, plus the dress code in my office is business casual (no jeans), but some women take the casual a little too literally. My own personal pet peeve. I've seen your outfits, though and you always look super cute. I think you should totally invest in some dresses!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on losing 2 pounds!! I'm still working on that outfit stuff. I'm kind of attached to my t shirts and jeans.
ReplyDeleteLove the squatting idea!!
ReplyDeletepee break squatting is GENIUS. we have a one person bathroom so i have room for squats and maybe even lunges. i might mix it up and get crazy!
ReplyDeletei'm so glad i found your blog a month or so ago, you're awesome and funny and i love it! working on getting my eating better - i'm the same, my weekend eating suuuuuuuuuucks.
