NSV: Keys locked in the car

So I managed to lock my keys in my car this morning as I was getting ready to leave for work. No spare key and everything I need for the day is locked inside. :frown:

I stood there for about 30 seconds weighing my options before I thought to check the trunk. The trunk was unlocked and opening it set my alarm off. I peered inside and wondered if the fold-down rear seat was also unlocked. It was, but only the narrow side. I stared at the small opening which is about 14" wide by 20" tall.

With the alarm blaring and the neighbors probably cursing I decided to give it a shot. I crawled into the trunk and managed to BARELY squeeze through the opening, twist myself around in the backseat and grab the keys. I hit the unlock button as fast as I could to stop the alarm and then sat there amazed. There is NO WAY I would have been able to pull this off even 30 pounds ago.

A terrible and inconvenient start to my day was narrowly avoided and I am happy to add this to the list of physical accomplishments that are starting to make me feel like a (still overweight) ninja.

Thanks to the MFP website and community for helping keep me on track and getting me back inside my car this morning! :drinker:

    That's awesome! Very funny too.

    I can't wait for the day that I can follow my kid into the tunnels at the playground and not be embarrased. I was going to say at the McDonald's playground, but I hope I can get myself to stop eating there at all. :)

    I love the attitude of gratitude!

    So many people would have been complaining and allowed this to "ruin their day". You saw it as a victory and have a postiive out look on it. THAT is as important as anything else. Balance of mind, body and spirit is the key to a successful life. Sounds to me like you are going about this the right way.

    Thanks for sharing, I love it when people share how they over come instead of post how they had to go get drunk over it. :wink:

    That exact same thing happened to me at Costco about a month ago. It was after I squeezed through the trunk opening to retrieve the keys which were on my car's front seat, that I decided it was time to start losing some weight. Ten pounds lost so far.
