Skinny Jeans...

Is it ironic or just plain cruel?  When two thirds of American adults are overweight, skinny jeans are all the rage.  Seriously??!!  Nevertheless, I was captivated by the catchy Old Navy commercials.  I had to buy a pair.  

Proof they will fit even those who are not skinny.  :)

So, as I am wearing my newest selection, my thoughts start to branch out... 

Path #1
I need a diet and workout plan.  This is not a new thought.  So, I put on my big girl panties (literally) and start the couch to 5k plan with my biggest supporter.  I start to perspire thinking about running.  This is not because I think I won't be able to do it.  It's because I am the least graceful person in the Midwest.  I am not kidding.  Several months ago I decided I would train for a 5k.  I went to the fitness center across from my office exactly one time.  I finish up my workout, and as I leave I notice a police officer sitting in his cardown the street a little bit.  I start to stress...should I go to the crosswalk?...can I cross here unnoticed?  Then, BAM...I am rolling into the middle of the street.  Oops...there are curbs here and I should make sure not to walk off them.  I am bleeding.  Clearly exercising is not smart for me.  The police officer didn't even get out to make sure I was not hurt.  
Anyway...I am committed to training and so far so good this go around.  Only one minor mishap of ripping my nail off putting on my tennis shoe.  The race is still several weeks away so I will keep you posted.  

Path #2
My sweet little girlie had the cutest pair of skinny jeans from Gap.  Of course, everything looks completely adorable on her.  It is so difficult to walk into a store and not leave with an outfit for her.  I should definitely start selling children's clothes.  I wonder how much it would cost to open a children's clothing boutique.  Maybe it would be better to only sell online.  Hmmmm.... something to highly consider.  

It's weird how so much can come from a Backstreet Boys laced Old Navy commercial.  HA!  

Thought Process

Old Navy Skinny Jeans -> Need to Diet -> Training for a 5k -> Falling into the Street -> Commitment
                                      
OR

Old Navy Skinny Jeans -> Cute Toddler Gap Skinny Jeans -> My Little Girl is so Cute -> Children's Clothing Boutique?
