Uplifting

I've been working on my posture, and while it is still a struggle, I find myself pulling upright and setting my shoulders back frequently throughout the day.  The upside of all this is that I've had no back pain of any kind - and this is normally the week when I have all sorts of back issues.  Who knew?

With this new and improved posture of mine, I've noticed that my bras are sort of shot.  Seems that the girls have sort of been on a decline down my torso, and I've been cinching the straps tight, and by the end of the day, things are sort of deflated.  This isn't a good look for me. 

I pulled out one of the bras that I bought a while back that doesn't get much wear - it is black, and for some reason I've been wearing a lot of white and light colors this year. I put it on this morning and holy moly.  It is comfortable, lies flat, keeps my boobs where I put them, and actually makes me look thinner, because I'm not bulging anywhere. 

Here's your mission for today:  really take a look at your bras.  If they are shot, put 'em out to pasture and invest in a couple of new ones.  Not sure about your cup size?  Get out that measuring tape and take a gander at this explanation of how to choose your proper size.

My favorite bras have a slight racer-back design, because I have sloping shoulders.  I've been very pleased with the shape and control (ooookay.  Bring on the "I survived the BigSlice TMI attack" shirts) from "minimizer" bras.  What I can tell you without a shred of doubt is that NOTHING at Victoria's Secret works for me.  I need to shop at a comprehensive lingerie department in a department store, or in a real lingerie store.  Get a fitting.  And buy some pretty panties to match, if you are so inclined. 

I know that new lingerie can be expensive.  But seriously, good boobs make the outfit (not to mention make you look thinner, and keep the stress off of your back.) 

Still with me?  Good.  Because I've got a random exercise challenge for you.  Steph has asked that we do some tricep exercises.  So!  Grab something heavy with both hands and raise it straight up over your head.  With your elbows pointing at the ceiling. lower the object behind your head and raise it back up again.  Gimme 30 of those (or 50, if you are using a light weight)

My bras are non-saggy and my underwear, as always, is FABulous!
