Awwww-man! It is 2012 ya'll! Craziness.

I am hoping this year brings as much excitement as last year, just without the "bad" excitement. I have really been stepping up the workouts, which feels good. Especially after a dressing room incident about a week ago. Let me explain. It goes a little something like this. I have really been wanting a pair of bright colored skinny pants (I envision myself wearing a butter yellow pair with a white top... like I think I live in Miami or something). I was walking through Target the other day and they had colored skinny pants on sale. I bright royal blue pair caught my eye. "Hmmmm.... maybe I get a pair now and even if they're a little tight I will be in them in no time". I grabbed a pair that was a size larger than I would normally buy now (really two sizes bigger than I would normally buy pre-accident). I expected them to feel a little uncomfortable because I don't like tight fitting clothing right now, it feels disgusting to me because I feel like a pudgy lil pig.
I got into the dressing room... deep breath... in preparation for a less than flattering color of a pant style that really only usually looks good on people who are less than a size zero. I pulled them on and immediately thought... "ahhhh hell nah!". WTF?!?! It looks like I was trying to stuff my legs into a sausage casing that was intended for some lil smokies! Yuck. On top of that the pants managed to redistribute some body up towards my waist and all of the sudden I looked I a freakin jelly fish with my muffin top spilling over the pant top. It really was a depressing experience, I looked like I had two royal blue upside down construction cones hanging from my waist. Now, I would really love for someone to explain to me why they call these type of pants "skinny"? What a torturous moment. This sent me straight back to the gym, as long as I have that image in my mind I will keep running (think Forest Gump style).
