A month or two ago I proudly told my wife that my size 33 jeans were too loose, and that I was going to go back to my old cache of size 32 britches from college (yes, I still have them). She gently suggested I check the tag.

Turns out she'd been buying me 34's for years and not telling me.

I was a fatass and didn't even know it.

Oh friend, I feel your pain.

Yesterday I had my first workout in a year. I paid a man to stand there and make me make my body lift and swing things. Heavy things. I was shocked at how out of shape I've become. So I got back in there and I did things ... awful terrible things. Like lunges. Squats. and did i mention lunges?

To say I'm sore this morning would be one of the biggest understatments of all time.

I had to have sF help me off the toilet this morning and I'm going to hold it until he gets home again.

A little over a year ago I could bench 135. I was so proud of myself. Now I can't even push my own ass up. Of course, let's be fair, it probably weighs at least 136 ... my ass i mean.

It'll come back quickly. That's what people keep telling me. So I'm telling you.

Good for you for doing something about it.

hang tough!

Chris, that is what is called True Love. You are one lucky man!

Steak, old age sucks. (Oh, the 'old' part comes straight from my teens mouths) I have been abit underweight for years, but now... now I am outgrowing my fat pants. THAT sucks!

Of course, dh says I now look how a woman is 'supposed to look'. Whatever the hell that means. I have decided to take it as a compliment instead of him saying I looked like shit all these years.

In fact, my top button is undone as I type. UGH. I HATE shopping.

Jenne,
With only a month off my muscles arent having the terrible time yours are...but I think if we got an ass-meter to measure ourselves, I'd totally blow you away.

Leonesse,
I know how you feel. I hate shopping and refuse to get bigger clothes. I'll either rip these ones or lose the weight!

Yea! More kettlebell stories :-)

Leonesse said...

Well, I hate to mention it, but if you stand by what you say about your ass-meter and blowing Jenne away, then you may not have to rip the pants... by hand anyway.

I would have to get my Lion King to put his ass in them to rip mine... ass wise, that is.

...sorry... couldn't resist...

A couple of laugh-out-loud funny comments above :)

And my story's the same but with an opposite result. My back bothered me in November, so after over 4 years of a religious work out schedule, I stopped. I've dropped over 20 pounds since - and since I had almost no ass when I was in shape, what's left isn't pretty.

Yeah, I did that, too.

Except without the five miles at a pop part.
