My hand-me-up (since I got them from my younger sister) size 29 AG “Angel” jeans, the uber-flattering but unforgiving ones with absolutely no stretch, are officially comfortable enough to be worn out to karaoke outings again. These are the jeans that let me know a month ago that I needed to check myself and start cutting again, because when I finished my first BFL challenge back in 2004, I made a promise to myself that I would NEVER go up in clothing size again.

A week ago, they were wearable, but I wouldn’t want to attempt Journey’s “Separate Ways” while wearing them due to the somewhat constricted sensation they were giving me in my lower abs and legs.

Today, however, I tugged them over my legs easily even though my quads and hammies were completely pumped up with blood after 45 minutes of plyometrics.

I sang loudly in the car all the way to work. Yes, even when I was stopped at a light, and I knew people could hear me.
