Operation Skinny Jeans: Day 1

Size 4!!

My brand new jeans

I just got a brand new pair of Abercrombie and Fitch jeans, just a tad on the tight side. So, the plan is to wear them this weekend, looking fine and feeling fine too. Hence, the beginning of Operation Skinny Jeans!


First, I'll be doing a version of the Shakeology Cleanse. What I'm going to do is have 2-3 shakes a day, have fruit too and a salad or soup with some protein (will likely be beans or nuts) with that meal and possibly more during the day and a complex carb, such as brown rice or quinoa. Pretty close to the real deal.


Next, I'm going to workout at least once a day, either one of my own workouts or one of my many Beachbody workouts. Here's the workout planned for today:

Can button & zip them, but the muffin top has to go!
