I’m a little down in the dumps
today. Everything was fine until my jog
this afternoon. But let me back up to
last week. My old sports bra died last week - one of the hooks snapped off. As soon as it broke I did a bunch of research and found one that holds on to those things with a vice grip. According to all of the reviews it’s like you don’t even have tata’s. But I had to order it so I put the old one on life support and used it with only 2 hooks. Probably not a good idea but I wear
this compression tank top thingy over my bra/under my shirt when I run to provide extra support for the breasticles
and to keep my flab from slapping me in the face. I’ll give you a minute to go get your brain
bleach to remove that visual from your head.
The bra came today and I was sooo happy! I rip it out of the package like a kid on Christmas
morning. Start to put it on and…um….wait…um…what
the hell?!?! It’s like you have to be a
performer in Cirque du Soleil to get into this thing or a nija. There is the regular hooky things in the back
but you still have to put it over your head to get it on cause part of it does
not come undone. After a bunch of “eff this
and eff that’s” I finally get it on. Problem
is that it seems really small which is weird cause it’s the same size as all my
other bras. Basically I look like a
giant sausage stuffed into a bra like sausage casing. Sigh. But
the girls are not moving and I mean NOT moving even with the jump test. So I decide to wear it. I even get the lame idea in my head that now
that I don’t have to worry about extra support for the boobies and jello like flab and decide to ditch the compression
tank thingy. What a bad idea. I start to jog and its going ok except that
my workout leggings are staring to slip down and not just a little I am now
sporting plumbers crack. The compression tank was holding them up in my previous workouts. I had no idea. Ugh. Sigh. It
wouldn’t be so bad except my treadmill does not have any cup holders or cubbies
of any kind so I have to hold my phone so I can listen to music and hear the C25k
app tell me when it’s time to walk/run. I don’t know what the workouts are anymore cause I don’t
write them down so I need my phone so I can use the app. I just wait for the
trainer lady to tell me what to do. The
floor is concrete so it’s not like I can drop my phone on the floor and I didn’t
want to stop to put phone my phone down plus without knowing what the workout
is that wouldn’t work either. So I try
to keep adjusting my pants one handed.
Giant Sigh. Finally I get to the
walk segment and pull my pants up to my nose – straight up nerd style but that doesn't help at all. In the mean time the bra feels like it’s a
boa constrictor. Holy crap! It’s beyond tight! But I still don’t want to stop and decide to
keep going. Oh and on top of all that my
treadmill has been on the fritz lately.
Of course it decided that this would be a great time to mess with
me. For some reason the speed will not
stay consistent during the jogging segments. It will jump anywhere from 4.2 down to 2.8
and then back up to 5+. It jumps every 2-3 seconds. So my bra is giving me a bear hug, my pants
are practically down to my knees, my stomach is jiggling like a bowl full of jello, and I’m doing involuntary interval training. It was a sight to see. Again I will pause while you go get brain
bleach. I finished the my workout but I
seriously wanted to lose my mind by the end.
Needless to say I did not get the runners high after. On a positive note - not sure there is one - I didn't quit. Eff Monday's.
New bra - if it fit right it would actually be a really good bra - Its Juno by Moving Comfort

Beth-I was laughing so hard I was crying! You are much more dedicated than I. You are definitely beating me in this weight loss challenge. So far I am only losing because I am sick. I feel like a complete failure - I will definitly get off the couch as soon as my stomach is back to normal!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Beth!!!!! Keep Positive!
