short shorts.

Errr, excuse the booty shot!

Confession: I haven't worn short shorts since high school. I started gaining stress-related weight my senior year of high school, and the upward and outward trend continued until I finished college. I've been struggling for the past two years (since graduation) to get my weight back down to a normal level, but to no avail.

Folk... apparently what I needed to do to lose the college weight was to move to Korea and deal with 260 middle school boys on a daily basis. Seriously. I'm running around all day - making lesson plans, playing games with the kids, breaking up fights, sprinting to class, climbing stairs - and it's just impossible NOT to lose weight. I've shed about 15-16 pounds since I arrived in June. And even more surprising is the fact that I haven't been making a serious effort to hit the gym. I've just been eating and living healthier, and it shows. I can't wait to see the results once I start working out more.

While I'm a tiny bit embarrassed about shoving my virtual butt in your faces, I'm quite pleased with the way my body is finally starting to go back to normal. So pleased that I turned my boyfriend jeans into a pair of boyfriend shorts (even though it's starting to get cold here)!

Wahoo! Congrats, lady. Amazing what leading an active life does to the bod. I sometimes wish I could trade in my desk job for something more running-around-y ... you look fabulously svelte.
