Time to focus on me


I've been in a real funk the last month or so. Arianna and her 'issues' were getting overwhelming for a while. She still has a bad cold and we're still on house arrest - she goes no where (yet still manages to get sick!) and I need something new to focus on.

We've been focusing on finances for so long that I need a new motivator. So why not work on weight... *sarcasm* cause I've never concentrated on that before . *end sarcasm* In reality I haven't been as diligent as I should be. Since gong part time, in order to keep up with our debt reduction plan, we slashed all extras - including my personal trainer Andrew, who I had been working out with for almost 2 years (minus pregnancy). Since then I've put on five pounds and feel super frumpy. So I'm setting a new goal to lose 20 lbs. This of course, is nothing compared to the 70 lbs. I lost while on the optifast diet. But I'm not willing to let my weight get up 220 again, so that I can qualify for the diet (oh god, shoot me like a dead horse if I get anywhere near 200 again). Also, the fact that I spent almost $2k on it is not an option - so I'm going to have to do it myself, and there is no reason why I can't!

When I go back to work full time in April we will join the YMCA and I can get back to exercising at least 3 days a week but in the mean time I can watch what I eat - which has been seriously lacking lately.

I have really needed a new 'thing' to focus on, and its about time it was me for a change! I've started a new blog to help me stay motivated, you can read it here.

Wish me luck!

Wow! What an amazing bra!

So, in my pursuit to getting more fit and super trim I bought a new sports bra.

I'm a large girl in the breasts department - 34 DD. I've got both Mom and Dad to thank for that - big breasted woman all over my family. So if I'm going to run I need a good supportive sports bra. Searching around the internet I came across Enell brand sports bras. They're recommended by Oprah - so they have to be good right? Hell, at $50 they had better danm well be good.

So today it arrives in the mail. I love the packaging cause in fine print it says "Please buckle your Enell from the front, bottom to top. This will get easier with time" Well hell! I was about to call the neighbor over to help! While holding one boob out of the way with two fingers, and pulling the bottom of the bra around my rib cage I was able to clasp the bottom buckle. Slowly working my way up I got it on. And guess what - I can still breath! Woo Hoo!

So, then comes the ultimate test... jumping.

THEY DON'T MOVE!

did you hear me?

THEY DON'T MOVE!

Oh my gosh, this is the most amazing bra I have ever had the priviledge of putting on! I can definitely see myself running with confidence tonight!
