And now I'm motivated

A few years ago I bought some jeans from Banana Republic on clearance for like $15 each.  I went to wear them a week later and gained some weight and they were tight.  They weight kept getting added on, the jeans kept getting pushed to the back of the closet.

I am cleaning out my closet to switch to winter clothes and pulled them out.  I could only get them like 3/4 the way up my thighs.  I am giving them away because I don't like them anymore, but I MUST get on track and lose this weight.  There is no reason why clothes I bought almost 3 years ago can't go over my thighs.

Today, I am cleaning, so I am not going to the gym and tonight we're going to a really good restaurant, so dinner is out for being healthy.  Breakfast and lunch is a go and tomorrow, to the gym I go!  That I think was the motivation I needed.

On a second thought, I am keeping one pair for motivation and progress monitoring.  Keep you all posted, see you in the accountability post on Monday :)

Re: And now I'm motivated

  • Yay for motivation! Can't wait to see you posting all your workouts!

    I've been rewarding myself for work outs (4x a week gets a reward) not weight loss, it's nice to get a reward for doing something I can control like working out.

  • Hoping some of your motivation rubs off on me !! @mana8503 great idea about a reward for working out not just weight loss! Often I get stuck at a weight for a while and get so frustrated, that would help keep me going :-)
  • I have a closet full of clothes for motivation, and I'm super excited to start being tortured again by my trainer Mon:)

  • Hooray for finding your motivation! That same thing happened to me back in January when none of my clothes fit and I stepped on the scale at the doctor. It was quite the wake up call! I was almost at a point where all my clothes fit again. I'm now aiming for next fall, after the baby to get back into the smaller clothes.
