Tonight while carpooling home, I slapped my knee & proclaimed, “BABY! Are you ready for news that will blow your mind?!”

(my besties will tell you that i tend to do that – i actually slap my knee & holler when i have REALLY awesome news. like a redneck. in kitten cole haan heels)

He smiles & says, “Sure, lay it on me.”

I shook my head & said, “Seriously. I don’t think you’re ready for this. AT ALL.” & I guess my voice got very serious & low. Because all the color from Nate’s face drained & he said, “OH SHIT. You’re pregnant?!?!”

WHAT?!?! NO!!!! But you know…thanks for letting me know how you’d react. ::snort::

p.s. in his defense, my psychiatrist told me on no uncertain terms am i to become pregnant. so his response should i have actually been with child would have been appropriate.

I still have a ways to go. I’m not THAT delusional. Still hoping to lose another 20 lbs, but we’ll just have to take it each day at a time.

This week, I really started noticing a difference in regular pictures. I saw my legs in a few shots with Harrison & thought, “WHOA! Are my legs really getting that thin again?!” It’s such a proud feeling.

As you can see, I have new work-out gear! For numerous reasons:

1) I’m getting too…umm…small, for my old gear. Plus it’s pretty ratty.
2) I’m pretty sure it’s not okay to wear the same sports bras I’ve had since 10th grade, especially given my boobs are half the size they used to be.
3) The folks at Jockey are awesome.
4) Now I feel pretty when I work out.

Yep. I’m working out more. Mostly for stress relief, but I’m at least doing a mile walking at lunch & sometimes I even run in my work clothes (and sneakers!). It’s a sight. But you know, sometimes you JUST HAVE TO RUN OFF STEAM. So this week, I’m taking a bag of clothes with me so I’m not running in slacks & a sweater. Although I have to say, that’s still not as funny as my girlfriend Alethea trying on my new sports bras in the bathroom of the local pizza restaurant. & being Alethea & the reason I love her, she strutted through the restaurant holding the bras out for all the Q-tips to faint from the indecency.

(Okay, this part is for girls with big boobs, mostly because I identify with you. Alethea identifies with you. This or this. Alethea ADORED the terry cloth one & I concur. Write those down.)

So now that my boobs aren’t bouncing uncontrollably when I run, I’m doing more of it. & it feels amazing. Because I don’t want to be one of those “skinny-but-flabby” girls. You know the type. They’re thin, but there’s no muscle underneath; so not my style.

What is your favorite work-out gear? What are your must-haves? (personally, I’m a big fan of shorts/shirts with zippered pockets for keys) Your favorite sneakers?
