We have all been there before – you, in a moment of masochism, decide to see how you are looking in your skinny jeans. From there the night usually takes a turn for the worst as you begin to rue the cream bun you had at lunch time and rethink your stance on diet colas being for wimps.
Just about every woman has a pair of jeans or some other piece of clothing that acts as your weight loss and gain yard stick. They are a great way for you to monitor when you have overindulged and want to get back to your ideal weight.
If you find yourself in a code red type situation, then it is not the moment to fling yourself to the floor and cry yourself to sleep for a week (although that would probably burn off quite a few calories). No! It is time to be an empowered woman and make crunches out out crunchy peanut butter. In this situation you need to pull yourself up by your boot laces and admit that you need to do some exercise.
Don’t bother being bummed about being a bit on the beefy side. Look at it with the glass half full of diet soda and see that with a bit of exercise, you will be looking hot in a short space of time and also feeling fantastic and probably have better skin and a sunnier disposition.
Lots of us like to sink into self pity and blame our busy schedules or lack of funds for liposuction on the fact that we are not currently in supermodel condition. It might make you feel better for a few moments to make excuses, but deep down you know that it is your own fault and it could all be sorted out with a bit of regular exercise. If you are busy, then you just have to make time for exercise and if you are on a tight budget, then just exercise at home.
If you can spare the money, then a personal trainer is worth their weight in cookies. They will help to motivate you, keep you going when you would otherwise give up and also design and implement a training schedule that works all the areas you need worked on and get you in uber-shape as soon as possible.
If you cannot stretch the budget to include sessions with Olef the wonder runner, then you can make your own program up by searching the Internet for the type of exercises that you enjoy and that will work the areas of fitness that you need to improve. Keep the program varied between cardio and a muscle workout routine in order to get the best results. Your thighs will be applauding you in no time and obliging you by fitting into the aforementioned jeans.
