So I have a lot of old clothes that should probably be tossed out. Or given to my sister. I'm a huge pack rat and I hate throwing stuff away because I'm convinced everything will eventually be worn again by someone one day. Maybe even by me. That has resulted in my accumulating approximately 5 billion over-sized t-shirts and jeans of various sizes. The other day I decided to try on some jeans I haven't worn since last year and sadly they no longer fit.
Well, ok, so they do fit but in that awkward way where you muffin top. I noticed the following things about my body while squeezing into these jeans: 1) my legs don't seem to have grown in girth, 2) according to my last doctor's visit I'm not really any heavier than I was a year ago, and 3) wtf has my ass really gotten that much bigger?
I'm not really sure what to think about the obvious growth in my general hip area other than that my body has decided to continue with The Plan, "The Plan" being to prepare my body for babies. I don't appreciate this. Not only do I have my mom bugging me about grandkids but now my body is expanding like it's expecting company. I suppose it's all a part of nature and stuff so I shouldn't be too upset. Plus it should mean my body won't break in two once I do have kids.
I really liked those jeans though.... I mean I could just go and buy another pair of black jeans or I could keep them and see if one day I'll fit into them again. You never know. I'm exercising again and starting mid March I'll be doing CrossFit with Celina.
Also, my rib cage/bust area has widened (and definitely not from my boobs getting bigger). I chalk that up to exercise though.
Speaking of exercise, I should really learn to take things one step at a time. Last week I did my fit test at the CrossFit gym and then went running and then went running the next day even though I was completely sore and this weekend I was in so much pain. So much pain. Sitting down on the toilet was agony. I feel much better today though so I went for another run except now my ankle's being all stupid.
Stupid ankle.
I've been really lazy with my ankle strengthening exercises. I need to remind myself to do them all the time or else I'll have another sprain and it'll be sad and super painful. Every time I walk around now I have these panicky daydreams where I sprain my ankle in some contorted way that results in me being a cripple or needing surgery. It's terrifying. I feel like I'm turning into an old person because of my ankle and also because of my knee feeling funky randomly. They're both on the same leg.
I wish I could just chop this leg off and replace it with a better behaving one.
