These boots were made for walking
Jun. 28th, 2008 10:31 amRemember a few months ago when I ordered a pair of black knee-high boots online, but they didn't fit, despite being the same size and style as the other (taupe) pair I own?
Well, after about two months of regular excercise and trying to watch what I ate, guess what? I managed to zip them all the way up last night!
*dances*
Granted, they're still a struggle to get on -- especially the left one -- and they're too tight to consider wearing more than ten minutes at a time, but it's progress! Good thing, too, because I was beginning to feel discouraged. I was even considering giving up if nothing changed by the end of this month, but now I'm pumped to keep going! Come this fall, I will be able to wear those boots comfortably. That's my goal. (And it wouldn't hurt if I went down a size or two in the process.)
Funny thing is, I actually skipped two days of exercise this week. I stupidly did those curtsey-squats KR warned people not to try in her journal and could barely walk for a couple of days afterward, much less even think of exercising. *laughs* But what if those were the key to my success...?
No, you couldn't pay me to try those again. Well, you could, but I wouldn't be very happy about it. I think next week I'll just try to increase my weekday workout time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. That should help.
