I have to laugh at the sports bra. I needed something to strap the girls in good. It wouldn't be nice to be running with them smacking me in the face. I got a really good one, but man its complicated to get it all set up right. There's velcro strap things, clasps, latches...the whole nine yards (no I don't mean nine yards of fabric--I am not a friggin jersey cow!). It feels like I'm getting stapped into a parachute or something. I don't think I signed up for that class, though...

I downloaded the couch-5K podcast recommended by daiseeangel and I am all set to go out. I'm not sure exactly when I'll head out today. I'm raring to go, but I've been procrastinating (as usual) on an abstract I have to write for a paper I'm proposing. Not looking forward to it.

Procrastinating seems to be a common theme in my diary. I've trained myself into the belief that I work better under pressure. Who am I kidding? Do I really enjoy sleepless nights before a deadline? No. It contradicts my other favorite hobby...sleeping. However, sleeping as a means to procrastinate...now that is sheer delight...

LMAO.

Ok, I have to know, what kind of sports bra did you get? The one I have too has velcro and clasp thingies and I love it. I got it for Christmas because my fat arse was too big for my other one and now, this one is almost too big. Sigh.

I'm so excited to have you join the couch to 5k club and am glad you saw it mentioned in Tyly's journal. Keep up the great work!

Its a Champion brand one. It has the shoulder straps with adjustable velcro and a normal bra clasp at the back with a snap closure too (I can't figure that one out... is it the safety clasp to avoid fallout if the main one breaks??!! LOL). I tried it out in my first session and it is awesome. I almost felt like a twelve year old boy!!!

As for getting one "because your fat arse was too big for your other one"...I hate to break it to you...its for your boobs not your arse. LOL. Its a good and a bad thing your current one is getting to big. Its not that old, but then again, it means you've shrunk. That's awesome. Are we going to have to have a sport bra swap meet on this forum?

Wishes,
I see wishes beat me to the ass-jokes by three minutes. What is with it Wishes we seem to be crossing each others paths within minutes of each other. LOL! In the boob department, my sister is in the same boat as you. She's always gotten the "tea bags", "mosquito bites" jokes from me and I've always gotten the "lard-ass" jokes from her.

I thought about joining the Couch to 5k challenge, but I'm in college and spring break is in two weeks which will throw off my progress. I bought a new sports bra though since I want to start running at the park nearby now that it's warming up. It was a long and trying battle getting it on. Mine doesn't have clasps or anything so you just slip it over your head....I swear it was trying to strangle me. Plus side though, they don't move at all now.

Good luck on the running

Oh I forgot some good news. I weighed myself this morning and I am back down to where I was before I left home two weeks ago. This is a major accomplishment for me. There's something about the air in Edmonton... it just makes me fat. I know what you are all thinking and you're all wrong. Its not the fact that I eat out when I visit my fiance or that I have "vacation syndrome" (you know, the syndrome where you stuff your face and spend loads of money on crap you'd never buy if you were home). I swear to god, its the air...

LOL! They're conniving little buggers. You close your eyes for one minute and they try to off you.

Hahaha.

I'll have to go check the one you got out, but the one I bought in 2006 and what I got for Christmas was this one: Buy Women's Moving Comfort Fiona Bra at Road Runner Sports

The life of a sports bra if used regularly is 6 months I hear (I wonder if it's less for bigger busted women). Anyway, I absolutely love this one and it's almost ready to head out.. I am sad because it's so expensive and I'll have to buy another one, but I'm also happy at the same time that I'm getting smaller. So far, it seems to be mainly the chest size and not the cup size going down, although if that doesn't go down too, I'm in trouble. haha. I guess we could have a sportsbra swap. That's a funny name for a club. LMAO

Air huh? lol. Good one. I'll try that this weekend when hubby and I head out of town for a few days. We are going to be near shopping and awesome eats.

Congratulations!! This is very good news. And I totally believe you. When I went to california last year, it was the air that made me gain three pounds, despite my relishing in 'vacation syndrome'. Hey, I couldn't help it. It was thirty below back home, and we don't have fresh shrimp here too often in the winter. I wasn't *not* going to scarf down on seafood and greasy burgers. Besides, that's what you do on vacation...or so I've been told...

Thanks for the compliment on the hair. Truth be told I need to go in for a bit of a cut... I've been putting it off. The last time was in October when I paid $80 out of sheer desperation. I am now ruined. It was such an awesome cut that I don't want to go anywhere else. There is no way I can afford to back either! I think I'm going to give in soon... I have to say that your hair is gorgeous in your pics. How about we swap hair now and then because I have always wanted hair like yours?

Eighty bucks, huh? Wow. I don't spend any more than twelve dollars to get my haircut. Haha. Truth be told, this curl is natural. I never liked it until a couple years ago, after I grew it out. For three quarters of my life, I had it boyishly short, and when I finally decided to grow it out, I decided I actually *like* having curly hair. I can wake up and not have to style it. LOL. No one believes that it's biologically styled this way though. I'm constantly questioned on how long I take to do my hair. When I answer with "Oh, on the upside of three minutes. I just dunk my head in the sink, comb it and go." Their mouths are agape, I'm not kidding. I've never understood why it's so shocking though...

Yes I could definitely go on and on about what a jackass my player-friend is. I'm not even sure if I really dislike him because its pretty damn amusing talking to him. I can have a twenty minute conversation with him and then talk to someone else about him for a good hour! He adds fuel to my conversations.

I know!! Men like this make my day because they're so utterly conceded. The hilarity of their ridiculousness floors me. Even if they *are* God's gift to woman, they shouldn't gloat about it, you know? It just makes them seem like mammoth ignoramuses. LOL.

I didn't recognize you for a second with your snazy new avatar. Me I need a molded concrete one. LOL. Those are hard to find too.

lusciouslemon · February 25th, 2008, 09:56 PM

Tasha,

here is the bra I got (mind you not in the pretty blue):

Champion bra

Rach,

Yeah, eighty bucks is ridiculous. I've never had good luck with a twelve dollar cut, though. I have difficult hair. Really really thick. Curly underneath and straight on top. The swanky place I went to asked me to be a hair model for them. I have so much hair that I guess they could do almost anything to it. She also was nice enough to tell me that they'll probably butcher my hair, so if I want it longer for the wedding, it isn't a good idea. It was tempting though. I could have put model on my resume. LOL. That would have raised some skeptical eyebrows! That being said I'm a three minute gal myself so I don't really want to deal with this mop in a complicated way. I am very jealous because my three minute hair LOOKS like three minute hair unlike yours.

wishes · February 25th, 2008, 10:14 PM

ouch concrete sounds painful. Yeah the AV needed brightening up. the other one looked nice but it wasnt *me* if you know what i mean

So im doing couch to 5k with my kids! We have a 5k race in a couple months so it will work brilliantly with that

The Concrete Bra: Yeah and I had made the comment about callouses on "the boys" in your diary. Now I'm suggesting callouses on "the girls". LOL. It would take some creative marketing to sell that bra. Do you think they'd take me in on the home shopping network?

The Avatar: Yeah, I know what you mean...I saw the colored hair in your pictures. What can I say, you're a colorful gal!!! Your previous one was beautiful, but this one is so much more fun.

What an awesome thing to do with your kids. How old are they? I'm sure its somewhere in you diary, but that thing's a friggin novel. Your kids might be all grown up by the time I find the right entry. LOL. I love your diary BTW.
