I'm going to whine for a minute. OK, so I refuse to buy any new bras until I'm down a size, and since the girls have deflated, my bras don't give me the same support that they used to. Whilst walking yesterday, arms pumping, breathing hard, I must have been swinging them (the girls) ever so slightly, because last night I thought that I was a little tender underneath, not the girls, but where they rest... I have a friction rash under both of them! DAMMIT! So I dug out a better bra that's a little uncomfortable, but it gives me better support, so I can continue on with my workouts. I guess until it clears up, I'll have to wash this one every night...
Ok, I'm done whining. I'm still on track!
I absolutely love to ride my bike, but I can't go for very long. I still haven't figured out how to get my butt used to it. I've tried different seats, gel covers, pretty much everything except for tying a pillow on there. What's the secret, BG?

The smaller the seat the more comfortable it is. If the seat is smaller you have less of your bones smooshed on it.
You also just have to get a few weeks of riding in before the area down there toughens up.

Smaller.....interesting. I've actually shied away from the smaller seats, thinking exactly the opposite. I might have to try that, but I have to wait until it warms up more, I'm an even bigger wus about being cold. I won't be out there riding or doing anything that keeps me outside very long until it's 55 degrees MINIMUM!!

Yeah yesterday was a little chilly for me but I had to get out there. Now today, though, it is beautiful outside.

It's raining, raining, raining here, and currently it's only 48. After today, though, it's supposed to be 58 or warmer, if I can dodge all the rain in the forecast, I might get in some bike riding....

Awesome. You can always come and join us over on the bycyling thread lol. Good times.
I just got in an hour of walking on my lunch break. Hopefully I will get out this afternoon on a ride as well.

:( I've only done 10 minutes of walking today, that rash is a killer. Not sure what I'm going to do....unless I can figure out how to lift 'em up, I may have to wait until I get home and do an hour of weight training or something. Which sucks, I gotta tell ya. I had a sports bra somewhere that used to be tight, but that was about 40 pounds ago, I don't know how much it will help now.

[quote=travelgirl;784739] OK, so I refuse to buy any new bras until I'm down a size, and since the girls have deflated, my bras don't give me the same support that they used to. quote]
I'm in the same boat... My rib cage is now at 37 inches -- not a 38 any more, but not a 36 yet either! And though the girls have deflated, they haven't shrunk all the much - just sagging more now! But ya still have to scoop all that flesh up into the bra!  Which means that my a size is a 38 H. An H cup. H. What the frig is THAT!!!????!!! I was banded at a 56DD. Not even nursing my babies was I an H. I have bought new day bras twice on this journey smaller, but I've not been exercising enough since the 38 days began to warrant buying a new sports bra!  The girls were slip sliding around in my satin once I really got going on the treadmill last night.  There are not 2 cents to rub together at the end of the month thanks to my husband  , and I just know finding a sports bra in 38 H will be a pricey prospect!  But it might be time to bite the bullet & get a new sports bra...

Awesome job Zannie and TG.
I got out for about 12 miles on the bike yesterday so now I am officially caught up on my workouts. Today however I am not sure where I am going to squeeze one in. But I am going to fit it in there somehow. Somehow.

City: SALEM State: ILLINOIS | Hi All ! Sorry I've been gone so long - really super busy at work right now. I am spending 3 hours dancing with my students each morning to get ready for a big spring concert. Dancing to "Grease" and "Hairspray" really give you a workout. Talk about fast ! Whew !!! Hey it looks like everyone is doing Great ! I can't wait to get out of the 200's, and to hit the 100 lbs. loss . I've decided to have a massage when I do.That's something I've never done before. Gotta go now , just popping in to say "Hey". Have a good one ! | |

Well, here it is, Friday afternoon, and I have only gotten in 15 minutes of walking so far today (pathetic), so I have a 45 minute workout staring me in the face this evening. It's a good thing DH is going out turkey hunting after work, I can have it done and over with by the time he gets home.
