Goal Jeans

Well, Team Alibi - our time together is more than halfway done, and with all of the dedication and hard work, I think we're bound to see some results! As some of you know, I live far from the gym. I have high hopes of moving closer in the very near future - but in the meantime, I'm up at 4:50am on Friday mornings so I can be out of the house by 5:05 and in the gym in time for our 6am training sessions with Marcy. I'm a pretty good morning person, but I think 4:50 should not be seen by most humans. Did you know that Dunkin Donuts isn't even open yet???? Workout and be coherent without coffee???? COME ON!

I decided I needed a little incentive to make sure I got my butt out of bed and on the road. I have this fabulous pair of jean - they're 7 for all mankind, and I bought them because I got to the marathon finish line. They're worn in all the right places - and at the beginning of the Fiona Challenge, they were just a tad too small. I could button them - but they were too tight and uncomfortable. I'm not a fan. So I hung them upon my door. That way, whenever I wake up and look over to my alarm clock with one eye open, WILLING it to shut off so I can roll over and go back to sleep, my eyes have to scan over the fabulous 7's and I'm motivated to move. Of course, this week, also had a phone call from my buddy - Thanks, Zahra!

Team Alibi, I brought my 7's to the gym on Friday morning. I also brought my old standby gap jeans just in case. But after our session with Marcy, I went and took a shower, went back to my locker, pulled out the 7's and slipped them on. I buttoned them. I wiggled around. I walked to the mirror. I finished getting dressed and ready for work . . . and only then did I reveal to Mina and Zahra that I was wearing my "skinny jeans". I wore them to work all day, and now I don't want to take them off!

Awesome work, Team Alibi! The results are starting to show!
