GOOD NEWS: So I've had a massive cold all week long, and that has kept me away from the Y. I finally forced myself to go tonight even though I really couldn't breathe through my nose--not exactly the best swimming conditions, but I did my laps (well, 2/3 of them) anyhow.
BAD NEWS: What made you recommit to the workout regimen, you ask? Well, last week I ordered a pair of denim gauchos online. I love them, except that they do not fit me--yet. They would be fine except for my hips. Why, oh, why can the clothes-makers not understand that once a female becomes a mother, her body isn't necessarily shaped the same way? (Not that my hips were exactly small pre-Connor.) Why can they not realize that we young mamas want to be hip without showing everyone our hips? Please, I beg of you, oh righteous clothes-makers (specifically Old Navy): learn to design pants and shorts for normal female bodies. We are not all super-models. We CAN have a hip measurement that is larger than that of our waists. We would love to be able to get down on the floor and change our children's diapers without showing everyone else our underwear! We would also really like it if you could design pants that are not so low-rise that they must hang out underneath our flabby bellies that used to incubate very small human beings. Reward us for a job well done by creating clothes that don't make us feel bad about ourselves!!!!!
Okay, I doubt that my little rant is going to change anything, but I at least feel better. Now I am going to go upstairs to finish my work out. The medicine ball awaits, and that Mia-witch on the video hasn't seen me for days. I'm sure she's got a hefty work out planned for me and my flabby arms.
Sorry I was a loser and didn't post anything yesterday--I made the mistake of taking cold/allergy medicine. Apparently that stuff can cause drowsiness....hmmmm.
