Hobbly Weekend Recap

Hello Monday.  The start of a new week is upon us.   source The Mr's back was not happy and getting worse Friday so he had to break down and go to the chiropractor.  He said it's the ligament that runs over his SI joint and it's inflamed.  He told him to use ice over heat, cold lasered him and yanked his bum leg.  He's been using the shoulder  migraine ice pack I got him for Christmas on his lower back held in place by the back brace belt from the last SI joint flare up.   He couldn't really do a whole lot so we shared a blood supply with the couch most of the day Saturday.  We finally decided to go poke around the garden center just to get out of the house and get some movement.  OMG, the prices!!!  Flats are 12 plants less than they used to be for $3 more or $6 more if you want the old amount.  Plants are $5 a pop for a tomato or basil plant.  I'm REALLY hoping I properly harden off my seedlings because I can't af...

Death by Lycra

Um yeah.  So I got my tank top shaper thingy yesterday.  I almost noosed myself with it trying to get it over my shoulders.  Why?  Because ol' walnut brain here ordered the size I wear.  Apparently a big big no no!  You are supposed to order 2 sizes up which I would've known if I had bothered reading the reviews before ordering.  So instead of sending it back I'm going to keep it for when I got down 2 sizes (aka-2 years from now at this rate!) and I ordered another sucker top so that I can tame the middle roll for special occasions.  I have to say it was pretty freakin' comical though to watch the attempt.  I'm pretty sure I burned 50 calories from both attempts...bonus!

So there's your tip for the week kiddies, if you're going to buy shapewear of the lycra/spandex kind then make sure you buy 2 sizes up or you're going to have a fabric rubber band shoved in the back of the dresser drawers!  I'd say another week to 10 days before I can review it and show pics.

    I love this post and the main reason is because "been there... done that"... I can visualize it all now.
    I've had to ask for help getting the shirts off :)

    Yeah, I just got a new sports bra in the mail... same thing happened. Got it halfway on and couldn't get it off. Had to ask hubby for help, awesome! Back of the drawer until I lose another 30lbs! Live and learn!

    You can be glad you were at home. I had a similar experience with an over the head style sports bra IN THE DRESSING ROOM!

    I was so sweaty and flushed when I came out I bet people wondered if I had someone in there with me!

    (tip for you, UnderArmor runs VERY small--if you have actual breasts do not attempt to wear their over the head style bras)

    That is one reason I love Spanx. It is like pantyhose; you can order by weight and height.

    Good to know, and a new option for a little extra cardio.

    Bwahahahaha - can't tell you how many times I have gotten somewhat "stuck" in clothes. Like recently I tried on a sports bra at Target and I was seriously getting concerned that I was either going to have to pull my shirt on over it and let it hang like a muumuu or call for help from my cell phone! I was scuuuurrred for reelz!

    But after much grunting, pulling, sweating and everything else I finally got it off and heaved a huge sigh of relief. And um, my note to self was...you ain't THAT thin yet so get ovah yourself! And seriously, I should have known I was in trouble the moment I put it on and all my fat squished out so it looked like I had a couple tumors under each armpit!
