Pendulous, Wheh-hew!

I’ve started working from home a few days a week again. I was a bit nervous to be away from my routine and the gym but so far I’ve stuck to lunch time workouts. I’ve dusted off my Firm “Tough aerobics mix” and put it back in action.

I was able to conquer the fitness level no problem. My strength and cardio are pretty darn great right now. But I’m still having issue with high impact.

I once wrote a post about a boob containing device that would essentially prevent structural damage to buildings in close proximity to me while I’m doing aerobics. That’s no longer necessary, my boobs are gonzo. A regular medium size sports bra flattens me up like a board.

I now have issue with my belly and butt. They are still quite sizable and the extra weigh hangs looser and is more pendulous (yay a second time to use my all time favorite word). I have a strange image, which comes to mind, to describe the way I feel my fat hangs. Envision a long haired dog that’s been playing in the snow. He’s got these big snow balls clinging to the ends of his hair and dangling back and forth as he runs. Those snow balls are my fat. I don’t know if that imagery works for you, but that’s what I’m feelin’.

As I was doing my aerobics yesterday and my fat started picking up momentum it really began to hurt. I kept thinking the next big impact was going to tear my stomach right off. I found myself with one arm across my belly and my other hand holding onto my butt for dear life.

I guess I’ll have to get a special compression garment. Or saran wrap.
