So...

When I start to tell a story I normally start it with “So…” And I wasn’t aware of it until I did an internship in New York. When my manager would have to call a client from Missouri for a meeting he would get himself all set up with plenty to do during the meeting. He said we tend to talk slow and drag out words and start everything thing with ‘”So…’”. So I became aware of this habit so thought why not embrace it. Each of my blogs are like a story I would tell a friend so I would only seemed fitting I started it with “So…”.
Okay SO here goes…
My name is Jessica and I’m a fat girl. This blog will be about my struggle with my inner fat girl as I try to be a fit girl. I have struggled with my weight for a few years and this blog is a glimpse into my daily battles with myself, fitness, and food.
Bear with me through this process, as I will have slip ups and typos but I never claimed to be a fitness professional or a writer.

So… Yoga pants


So… Yoga pants have another purpose than going on an errand to target or CVS?

 
Last night after my workout I had a few errands and just went right after my workout. I encountered other girls in yoga pants who had full on makeup, nails, earrings, and hair. 
Hmmm I might have been one of these girls who on the weekend would go to Bed Bath and Beyond…  and Beyond in yoga pants. "Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time." Old School

But now I actually wear them to workout. Not exactly yoga… although after our boot camp and daily burn we do some yoga moves before stretching, but nothing too crazy.
Was I jealous of these girls that looked like they stepped out of a Victoria secret catalog instead of a gym? Ummm…. YEA! When the thought came to mind... “Are those your workout earrings” I knew I was being a hater. Made me think of how the first time I went hunting with Greg and his friend. When I got in the truck I had full on hair, makeup, and earrings. And his friend instantly asked “are those your hunting earrings”. LOL I was all about my tan, nails, jewelry, and outfit at the time in my life. I think I am jealous of the fact they have the time and money to do those things. Working out 5-8 times a week like I am suppose to and re-teaching myself what food is, is like a second job for me right now. By the time I get off work and change clothes and work out and get home and eat it is almost time to start thinking of going to bed so I can get up at 4:30am to work out in the morning. It will all be worth it!! It will. I am proud of myself that since April 15th I have at least worked out 4 times a week! The nails and such are just not as big of a priority anymore. Health over looks. Plus the cost of grocery shopping and fitness classes I had to give up expenses like getting my nails done. So am I jealous of how she looks yes. But I need to do these things so I can look close to as good as she does in yoga pants.  Because right know when I wear them I feel like I need to be in a people of Wal-Mart instead of a Victoria Secret ad.
