I Refuse

Greetings my six followers and all the peepers who I know look at this and do not sign in,

It rained morning, noon and night. I REFUSE to exercise in the rain. Now, maybe someone who LIKES to exercise would don a parka and forget about it, but not this mama. No way. Call it an excuse or what you may. I polished off the night with a Haggen Daz bar. How bout them apples?

Sorry if I let you down, but do you really want my first jog to be a miserable experience? I think not. So tomorrow's forecast calls for clearing skies. And then I will do it. I will take pictures to prove it.

I have however found that not eating a crap-load of sugar helps lose pounds and I am pleased to say a "new" pair of jeans fit nicely this evening after a week and a half of foregoing sugar.

I learned something new tonight about running gear. Do not call them spandex. They are called "lycra". So, tomorrow after my "jaunt" I will be finding some undergarment lycra. Why do people wear this? It sounds constricting and sweaty. Yuck. Do they wear it underneath their shorts or just alone. I have seen what lycra can do for a nice body and a not so nice body. I will post some pictures to showcase this phenomenon.

Spandexically yours,
Rebecca

  1. There is nothing wrong with spandex. Although, I won't dare wear them anymore (unless under my shorts). They can be quite comfy. To answer your question about why people wear spandex/lycra under their shorts-I'll only speak for myself in this case. I wear them because when I sit down and stretch or what not, I don't want to worry about my underwear or anything else showing. I think most basketball players would agree with this statement.
    Can't wait for the pictures:)

  2. There to prevent chaffing, which will happen when you sweat heaps and it dries and then you keep running. It also helps if you are planning to do any swimming / running blocks... You love lycra!
