So yeah, I need to do something. I can officially fit into a 12, however due to flub that squishes around, I look like oversized muffin from Starbucks. Talk about a total downer to the OMG SIZE 12. I also am SUPER pissy with the makers of jeans. I think jeans with the exception of bathing suits, are the most hated piece of clothing by women to shop for. It seems these days that it's more of a chore than usual to find a pair of structured denims. Everything is spandex infused, and if it's not spandex infused, it either sits at the hip or below your belly button. I don't really want to wear Mom jeans, but hell, I'd love to wear something that to keep from having muffin top I don't have to wear 2 sizes too big and then walk around hitching my pants up like a fat kid playing kick ball. I'd also love to have those jeans keep my body shape the way it should be, instead of stretching out in the most innappropriate places accentuating the fact I'm unfit. It's infuriating. I tried on no less than 14 brands of jeans in several different styles each today and I came home wearing my $10 stretchy jeans from Wal-Mart that are quickly thinning in the thigh.
I did the veggie thing last week. I have to chop up this week's supplies. I did my BMR calculation according to the link over on
Steph's blog. 1607 calories is my BMR. A caloric reduction of 500 calories puts me at the danger zone, so 1200 calories a day it is. I've done this before I can do it again, espesh if I'm increasing my fitness level. That being said, it's time to go have a shower and the kid a bath. I did some power walking this morning, and I'm going out walking on a photo trip this afternoon.
