Trapped!

I've been sticking to the workout routine faithfully these past weeks. A week or so ago, I started bumping up the intensity of my walking DVD workouts by adding neoprene hand weights.Neatnik picked up my one pound weights and observed that they weighed hardly anything. I suggested that she pump them over her head half a dozen times or so... Funny how she passed on that particular option. She does agree that my two and three pound weights are more challenging.

While the walking workouts are good and can easily be boosted with the addition of the weights or the firm band,walk belt,or figure eight bands,I also signed up for some Zumba classes and am seriously considering asking Number Guy for a Wiifor my birthday.

One thing I noticed about my recent workouts, though, was my old athletic bras just weren't up to the challenge anymore: when one is jogging and jumping around, one really needs support.

I went shopping.

Turns out athletic bras sometimes come built into athletic tank tops. Who knew?

The other day, I was getting dressed so that I could tromp down to the basement for my daily workout and I got kind of stuck putting on my new topfor the first time. You see, the tanks with built-in bras aren't stitched together at the bra band. I asked Number Guy for a little help untwisting the two parts of the garment.

He helped to get me sorted out, observing at the same time, "This thing is totally booby trapped."
