See, I have a reason to be extremely frustrated right now with the slow weight loss. Tomorrow is official weigh in day, and I haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks. :(
What makes this reality even worse, is that I put this extra 29 pounds on SO QUICKLY!!! Like, I bought this shirt in March I think. By July 1, I gained 29 pounds, and as of September 7, the sleeves are so tight that I had to flex a few times this morning to make it fit.
You know what I mean by flex? Like, when those jeans create just a bit of muffin top, so you do those little squat things quickly and kind of puff out the tummy to make those jeans stretch a bit? Well, I did that with the sleeves of my cotton shirt. I flexed those biceps like I was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Thanks biceps! It worked. Kind of.
I understand when all the other blogs and weight loss websites say, "remember how long it took you to put it on, it will take just as long to work it off." Bullshit I say. I put this on over 3 months... and 3 months later.. only down 8 pounds. Lame.
On a good note, my friend Amanda made me buy an insane work out bra, so that I can do some more serious cardio. My boobies will not be bouncing all over the place now, which up to now, has been my excuse to not .. run, jump rope, jumping jacks, yeah. You get the point. So, time to step it up boobies. You are not my excuse anymore.
So, the point of this whole thing is, due to the sudden change of weather in early September, mother nature gave me a warning. Cooler weather is coming, and soon. These giganto arms and boobies have to fit under button down shirts and sweaters. Fitted sleeves are a must. One can not wear tank tops and loose cotton shirts in the winter in Kansas. So, I have about 1 month, to at a minimum, get these arms about 1 inch smaller around.
It's a good goal, and I feel confident I can achieve it. So, to keep me honest....
Current arm (at the bicep) measurement: 15.5 inches. Ouch.
