My comfort zone

After my awesome stretching and workout today I was feeling awesome and ready to take on the world of course! Nothing made me happier to come home and shower and get into some comfy clothes. Everybody loves being comfy right?

So as I was digging out some pjs I found these....

These are Old Navy pajama pants from probably before 2005. I can remember loving these things. They are a size xxl and after numerous washes and wears haven't managed to totally fall to shreds. However they are close. There are numerous holes and weird colored spots in them.  They were my "go-to" comfort clothes. When I was sick I wanted these on. I'm sure my mom and dad got tired of seeing them. 

So I decided to put these bad boys on tonight. I wanted to be comfortable after all. Much to my surprise, they didn't even come close to fitting me- 

I was pretty stoked because they looked really horrid on me. I know- weird. I needed to find these tonight just to help remind me of the journey. We all know there's hard parts in every single struggle and that's true for weight loss journeys as well. 

Like these pants that were my comfort, food was comfort too. It was a way to bring together many, reach put to others and it was a way my family stayed connected. I don't know how I really figured out it was time to get out of my comfort zone but I have to push myself daily to get to bigger and better things. 

Both of these quotes sum up my thoughts about doing things outside your Comfort zone. 

GRIT is probably one of the biggest jumps out of my comfort zone ever. I still remember that first workout. And thinking I might die. After a short break I got back mommy regular schedule for GRIT last week- and I still felt like I might die. It's hard work, it's worth it and it's a push that I couldn't imagine for myself over a year ago. 

You can't do what you've always done and expect a different result. It just won't happen. You get out what you put in. And that my friends is a fact! 

Ps here's a photo dump from the last month

The new kicks!

And I leave you with words of wisdom from the great Libs "comfort zones are like warm blankets in the winter. Once you are all bundled up it is hard to move from that spot but eventually to accomplish anything you have to!"
