I will wear an X-large?!
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
I've got a complaint that I've been holding in for quite some time (no, not my neighbor's porch light lighting my bedroom up at night). I found a really nice pair of workout pants about a month ago. Now, you know how hard it is to find a really good, comfy, fit-ya-just-right pair of workout pants. I found them and I love them but every time I pull my pants down to use the bathroom I have a mean tag staring back at me. "USA: M, ASIA: XL . . ." Now, I feel really good about wearing a medium . . . in the US. So, this tag is telling me that if I go shopping in Asia, I will wear an X-large?! Eek! Talk about a confidence booster!
Now, yesterday I weighed myself and it was a number that I've never seen on the scale before . . . in the other direction. So, change of plans. I am not doing P90X anymore. It's boring and time-consuming and by no means flexible. I decided that I need to really take action and change my eating habits. My goal is simple: only consume 1,500 calories a day and burn 1,000 calories a week (only cardio, not including strength training). That's it. And not to mention, it's been almost 2 months of no fast food!!! How's that for a big accomplishment?! :-] I'm going back to the basics. Before all of the fads, diets, tricky workout regimes existed.
Oh, and a friend of mine just started her own blog. She's a soon-to-be mommy and has a juicy, interesting life. Meet Courtney!

Hi Ashley---thanks for stopping by my blog =) It's nice to (kind of) meet you =) By the way, I'm pretty sure I would be "jolly green giant" size in Asia =)
