I bought some shirts yesterday. I'm not supposed to be buying anything these days, but I had a predicament.
See, a while back when I whittled down my wardrobe, I found some clothes that had been packed away since I grew out of them when I was pregnant with Anna. I decided to keep a few of them but I neglected to try them on, which I should have, because they're too short now.
Some of you might be reacting the way my husband did: "What, having a baby made you taller?"
No. But it did make me flabbier. Whereas once I might not have minded my tummy peeking through when I lift my arms, I do now.
Steve suggested maybe I could do some exercises to help with that.
I suggested it would be a lot easier if I bought some new shirts and he kept his mouth shut.
So that's what we did. I will, of course, get rid of an equal amount of existing shirts so I can keep everything balanced. And maybe I'll do a few sit-ups someday.
Hooping!! That's what I'm doing to try to deal with that oh-so-lovely tummy issue. Another mom-on-the-road blogged about it a couple months back and then even started a new blog devoted to hooping...so I got a hoop (NOT the chintzy plastic kind from the kiddie section of the store) for myself as a sort-of belated b-day present. It's such a fun way to deal with the mid-section!!
ReplyDeleteLOL gets tossed around a lot, but I did laugh out loud at your line about buying shirts and him keeping his mouth shut. :-)
ReplyDeleteJulie, what a great idea about hula hooops! I'll definitely keep that in mind!
