Yesterday's run was very nice. Went well. I was a tad worried about safety there, but there were a lot of other people walking, running, etc. Everyone was really nice, well at least they wre friendly, I guess I don't know if they were nice or not. Then I took our big dog for a walk yesterday afternoon. Really tired today, Hubby's phone rang around midnight, work phone. He wasn't even on call! Well, long story short, took me a long time to get back to sleep. Then his alarm woke me up again at 3:45. ARGH! Well, rain is supposed to be back today, but I don't have a run today, strength and core training. My weight is back down to 117, it crept up a couple of pounds at Easter. Blame the Bunny. lol. I got a lot of cleaning done yesterday. Today, I have to get an allergy shot and a new vaccuume. The old one finally gave it up yesterday. I think it just looked at all the dog hair on the rug and committed suicide. lol. Oh well. Okay, new problem and I know some people will give me no sympathy for this. Because of the NF, I need a bathing suit that covers a maximum amount of skin. I now wear a size 4 or 2, depending on how it is cut. The only suits I can find in my size are the teeny weeny bikini variety. Even if I didn't have NF, I wouldn't buy one of them. I know there are older women my size. Where do they buy swim suits? I tried on my one from last year, a size 6 and the but literally sagged. Looked like I was carrying a full load if you know what I mean. I might stop by Sports Authority when I go to Walmart for the vacume. My daughter pointed out that women on swim teams have to have one peice suits. So, perhaps. Well, trying to stay optomistic for today. Who knows what will happen? Could be something good.

Nah, you get my sympathy on the suit issue. I need to get one of those triathlon-type shorts that you can use for swimming AND biking/running. It doesn\'t look so good when you do it in regular trunks.
And after swimming this morning, I found out that I have a hole in the back of mine, on the lower right-hand side.
My bragging is that I can look for a size 40 now, instead of 42-44 sizes that I used to wear. Just be patient and check as many stores as you need to. You\'re bound to find the one you want somewhere.
I know what you mean about the swimsuits. Your daughter\'s suggestion makes sense, the other day at the sports apparel store I saw sleek, nice-looking one pieces : )
It\'s good to hear the workouts are nice and that you are keeping an overall optimistic attitude :o) Have a GREAT day, hugs!
hope you get one that you really like, honey....good to feel you look good in your swimsuit.....even SilentStorm sounds slim to me...lol...........hugggs Cathrynn XX
LOL, Thanks!
I\'ll do a journal entry sometime explaining how far I\'ve come on my own. I used to weigh just shy of 300 lbs, so it\'s been significant.
Still, seeing that Marah is going to do a marathon is pretty inspiring to me, to begin with. Keep it up there, my friend!
Oh go ahead and get yourself a thong. Please be sure to post a picture of it though.
Land\'s End has a wide(and skinny..LOL) selection of suits. They are a bit pricey, but maybe such a tiny size which takes up so much less material will be cheaper. At any rate, it would be worth a look. Myself, I am thinkiing I\'ll swim in a wet suit from now on....too much fat and flab for public display! We\'ve killed a lot of vacuums in my day. Happy hunting.
