Having an apple shape makes jean shopping not so fun to begin with. Being 32 years old with about 3 stores and a Target as an option makes it even worse.
Why you ask? Rhinestones, that's why!! Apparently all the jeans in the stores available to me have a bedazzled ass!! What the hell! Or mom jeans. Awesomesauce.
So I drove the next town over to the Maurice's. Lots of rhinestones, but there were a few regular options.
I've been a size 18 for like the last 2 years. We've been having unseasonably cold weather so I had to suck it up and buy a new pair of jeans.
Well... The 18's didn't fit. I had to move into the size 20's. There's no more denying it. I am plus sized. Not chubby... But plus sized section shopping.
It hurt.
So what did I do?!
I went home and got my shoes on and started my "ease into 5k" phone app.
In the rain!!!
I just knew that if I waited, it'd be another week or month before I started. So rain be damned, I was gonna start.
I'm hurting, I'll tell you that!
I couldn't finish all 60 seconds on each run and I walked the last run portion of the workout. But you know what... It's more than I would've done on the couch tonight!
In the half hour of the program (not counting warm up) I actually only did about 1.75 miles. Nowhere near a 5k, but that's why it's a gradual program!
I have a huge blister and my legs feel like lead, but me... I feel like a friggin boss!!
I didn't let my size get me down. I know it will get better and all I have to do is try.
So that's what I did.
