I wiggled out of the middle of our queen-size bed at about 5:40 am. YaYa had crawled into bed with us in the wee hours of the morning. This usually translates into a less than optimal sleep. We were all a little tired when the time to wake up rolled around.
I made my way in the dark, down the stairs and into the kitchen for some coffee. I checked in the dryer for BoBo’s football pants to see if they had dried completely. They were gone; BoBo must have retrieved them last night.
I returned upstairs with 2 cups of coffee. I left 1 by Tom’s side of the bed, and went to the scale prior to taking a sip. 122.5 lbs – 20% BF. *sigh* My weight yo-yoed up a 1/2 pound. I took a sip from the cup. Whatever.
It’s Friday. Friday means a forced rest day. It also means “casual” dress at work. In California, casual Friday means jeans.
I searched high and low for my jeans. I looked in the clean clothes on the couch, and in the dirty clothes by my dresser. I even looked in my dresser drawers. No jeans.
So, I headed to the garage where I found a pair of jeans that I had placed in a bag of clothes to be donated to charity. I pulled them on. They’re snug. But there minimal muffin-top effect. My loose fitting jeans are beginning to be too loose. I might just have to keep these jeans after all. If I ever get those last 5 pounds off, they will fit quite nicely.

Muffin-top effect! LOL – that’s hilarious though so not funny too. I had never heard that term before.
Happy Friday!

Kind of hard to have muffin top at 20% body fat. For a woman that’s pretty good. And please ignore the scale – it’s all about the pants! Sounds like you are doing well.
What happens if you don’t wear jeans to work on Friday? Do you have sing Karaoke at lunch or something?

Sorry about the sad memories that mde you cry. Running certainly helps us get through tough times.
Your weight sounds good…nice that your old jeans are loosening! Have a good weekend.

Loved the hunt for clean laundry. I was greated by clothes this morning by clothes #1 son needed for work later that day. I got them into the wash for him, I hope he got them into the dryer in time. Have a great weekend!

Muffin top jeans – indeed, that is too funny! We have casual Friday here too and it generally means jeans. Where I work though, it is never casual for us…always for the customer. Funny about that.

I love the muffin-top jeans. Friday is my favorite day because of the week winding down.
Juls says
I can make the “muffin top” completely go away if I hold my stomach in. It wasn’t likely to happen the entire day.
It was sort of cool to not be dying to get out of the jeans by the end of the day. That was how then ended up in the donation bag. But I wore them all the way through to the end of the varsity game at 9:30 pm.

LOL. My butt weighs 122 pounds, hee, hee…
