Those Old Blue Jeans

[Mom/Luann]

Friday is "casual day" at work, so we are allowed to wear jeans. My
current jeans are getting pretty baggy and loose, so I thought I'd dig
out my old (smaller) jeans from the depths of my closet and see if I
was any closer to fitting back into them. I was astonished to find I
not only fit into them, I fit into them very comfortably. Banner day
for me!

That is awesome!  Congrats!

I however, have put on 2 lbs.. What the heck?  I blame my poor sports bra... this week it has been far too painful to "bounce" .. so, lets hope I can get a better sports bra or the bouncing pain goes away :)

have a great weekend!

Excellent, Mom!  Congrats!  I, too, have gained, but I'm blaming the zero workouts and eating out this week due to our house guests who want to have fun fun fun, darn them.  lol  I have, however, done a bit of strength training a few times this week so I shouldn't have lost much muscle tone.  DEFINITELY getting back into the swing next week!

Joliene,

 

I totally understand the uncomfortableness (pain) of bouncing.  One of the young ladies at work says she wears two sports bras at once and that works for her.  Maybe you can give that a whirl.

 

You have a great weekend too!

Thanks, Becka.  It's good that you have kept up doing the strength training.  I did the upper body workout video a couple days ago and I still feel it.  I did the lower body workout last night and I feel it, but not as badly as I did the upper body.  I want to focus on doing upper body at least three times a week (in addition to my daily walking).  I really like the Lesley Sansone videos - thanks for telling me about them.

Luann,

I think I just need to go to a sporting goods store and get a nice one.  The one I have I bought at Ross, and I wear it with a pretty tight tank top that is meant for working out .. if the bouncing pain doesn't stop with a new fancy one, I'll wear the new fancy one with the one from Ross and see if that helps :D

Valerie,

Thanks!  It feels so good to get positive reinforcement!  :-)

Joliene (or you other ladies if you know),

 

Not to get too personal, but do you have sports bras that actually latch and unlatch in back or front like traditional bras; or are yours one piece pullover your head sport bras?

 

All of my are the pull-over-your-head type; but I would prefer the latch type.  I bought a latch type one at wal-mart several months ago, but it gives no support at all and is pretty much useless.

 

If you know of a good brand that has the latch and the store(s) that carry it, let me know.

 

Thanks!

Luann,

I bought the kind that you pull over your head AND latch a while ago, but can't find it to save my life... so then the new one I bought, actually ZIPS in the front.. the bottom of the zipper is kind of annoying but other than that it's fairly comfortable, of course it also makes me look like I have uniboob :D
