Scrap Your Trip Adds 249 Items + 249 S*A*L*E Items

My “get healthy and fit” quest has had lots of unintended consequences.  Like finally trying on my “skinny jeans”.  You know, the ones hanging in the back of your closet, your favorite ones you swore you’d get back into one day.  Well, I finally tried them on and guess what?  They were too big!  Everything is my closet is falling off of me. 

As of this morning, I have lost 19.5 pounds, so nothing fits.  Which is a good thing, don’t get me wrong, but now nothing fits!  Buying new clothes is fun, but a whole closet full?  Not so fun.

On Monday I went dress shopping for a formal dress to wear to the Inc. 5000 Awards Gala (I took all of your advice and decided to go!)  It was the funniest thing tying on dresses.  The me I see in the mirror is not the same size as the actual me.  I kept having to send the salesperson to get smaller sizes.  Even now, with my fantastic dress hanging in my closet, I keep looking at it and thinking “There is no way that fits me”! 

I can climb stairs without getting winded…carry stuff that used to be too heavy…and get up from sitting on the floor a lot easier now.  But probably the best unintended consequence is the effect on my 6-year old son, Logan.

He wants muscles!  Big muscles like Daddy.  So, he is always “working out” with my weights.  Every time he lifts one, he comes over and says “Mommy, feel my muscles!  I’ve been working out!”  He is also obsessed with getting a “six pack”.  A few weeks ago, he pulled up his shirt, pushed both hands with four fingers each into his stomach, and said “Look!  I have an eight-pack!”

However, I didn’t realize the extent of his muscle obsession until he drew me the following pictures over the weekend.  

Look at those biceps!



He’s making the "I’m lifting weights" face
