Miracle Sports Bra?

Well, it might be.

Lately, I've been trying to drop some pounds for an elective surgery that I am anticipating in the next year. Heck, I'm trying to just lose weight for the sake of vanity as well! I have two beautiful kids and a pretty cute husband, so I have to look worthy in their presence....

So, I've been working on building my cardiovascular endurance at the gym. I've always wanted to be a runner. I want to eventually build up to the point that I can run distance races (don't really care much about running for time, just distance), so I can start a race t-shirt collection (think of them as my trophies).

Lately, I'm pretty proud of myself for making it to the gym and running just a few more minutes at a time on the treadmill. I have to go slow folks; I've had exercise induced asthma in the past and I don't wanna pass out at the gym. How embarrassing would that be? I try to do at least 45 minutes a day of cardio. I run a few, walk a few. I've been slowly losing inches and a little weight. (must give up raiding the trick or treat bucket)

I've been using other sports bras, but really, I have a problem....So, this morning I remembered I had and decided to look for, the boulder-holding sports bra that I bought, like two years ago, from Victoria's Secret. Found it! Used it this morning. AND, I ran at least 15 minutes straight before I finally gave my mildly aching legs a rest. As for my huge CaChongas...they stayed in place! Yipppeeeee! Maybe it's just coincidence, but that darn bra had some power over me this morning and I felt like Forest Gump for the whole time...I...was...Runnin' (come on, say it with a Forest accent).

So, this post may have been TMI, but I just wanted to let you know that VS does make Miracle Bras...

(the above post was just another attempt at keeping you updated on what I've been up to these days, which is sadly, not much)

Comfort and distance go hand in hand. Next we'll work on your shoes and shorts.

Very cool lady! Have you ever look at Enelle (sp) bras? Oprah is a big fan of them and let me tell you, the girls won't move an inch...just in case you wanted to hunt for another kind. Way to go on the running!!!!

You go girl...and go...and go...and go! I'm proud of you. Think you could this bag of bones up and running?

Phillip: What's wrong with my shorts? LOL
Jenn K: Thanks! I'll look it up.
Beth: Sure! If I can do it, then I'm sure you can.
Linda: I LOVE YOU! (you get me, you really get me)

Shoes: must be appropriate for foot type and will reduce sports injuries to the rest of your body.

Shorts: comfortable light weight running shorts will also improve your stride.

Besides that, run in something comfortable that won't bind or chafe.

Yeah, I am looking into that too! Everyone needs a good over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. I can't wait to see pics, I bet you look awesome! Good job girl!

Congratulations. Finding a miracle bra is true cause for celebration, in my opinion!
