knocked up
one of my most favorite people, Soccer Boy (my race the pace car fiasco friend), is back in town for the summer. he and i have been friends since college and lately have become movie pals.
and... we're on a roll.
a few days ago i got a call letting me know he's back in town, and he wants to go see Knocked Up. finally last night our schedules aligned and we made it to the 8:00 show.
can i just tell you people, how hysterically funny this movie is!? luckily soccer boy and i go a ways back, because there are some sort of embarrassing scenes, but... even so, they're just damn funny. and very real.
or.. what i imagine would be real, since i'm neither married or with child, so i don't exactly know, but... relationship-wise, some of the situations, and all of the dialogue.
its good stuff, and i highly recommend it.
in other, completely unrelated news (and fella's... this is a girl issue. so be forewarned... continue reading at your own risk)...
my boobs are getting smaller.
i've been training now, for i don't know how many months... and training and training. eating right. training. and its all been good. some weight has come off... or at least re-istributed.. and, whatever. its all been according to plan.
but lately?! i've been noticing a change. and i just can't ignore it anymore, cuz my bras.... don't. FIT.
so my question to you ladies out there, that have been doing this for weeks, months, years at a time....
WHAT GIVES!!!?!?!
i got on the scale this morning and noticed something new too....
consistently, for about a week... my body fat percentage has gone down. roughly 4%. my weight, however... has not changed.
i finally put two and two together and realized all of that fat has probably come directly from my mammories and i am so not okay with that.
i have lots of places on my body that i would love to see shrink. my boobs are not one of them.
so.... when can i expect this to stop? do i need to buy new and smaller bras, or will they rebound? what do i have to do to get this same affect in... say... my ass.
because i trained for two marathons. and i did spin, and i've been swimming and biking for months and i never had this. this cannot be good. i'm going to be disproportionately shaped.
HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP!!!?!?
Comments
hahahaha! yeah, sucks doesn't it? unfortunately, you have to get new bras...there is no rebound...unless you replace spin for fries...and then they'd probably come back a bit.
and the ass? it'll follow soon. it's just a little slow on the uptake...for me too...

ps--i was a size d and now i'm verging on b. i'm not sure how i feel about it, but on the upside, it makes running easier...

The butt will follow - be patient (though I wouldn't want to lose too much booty if I were you - you look pretty fab). 4%!?!?! Holy mother of god! That rocks.
Now, if you want to replenish the boobs, you could always follow the movie's example and get "knocked up". That'll definately do it. However, as soon as you stop nursing, down they go again (TMI?). Just a thought.

Life is cruel that way. We lose weight on our boobs first and gain it in the ass first. SO.UNFAIR!
They do not come back. And yes - you need new bras.
You hind quarter will follow suit soon - assuming it needs to (and I have my doubts).

Here's more nursing TMI.
Before I had kids I was a "B" cup. While pregnant and then nursing my melons looked like... well.. melons.
I am now an "A" cup.
Like I said - so.unfair. You just have to transcend boob culture in your heart and mind and appreciate that shirts are never too tight and you don't suffer much bounce when you run. Awesome.

I have no advice for you whatsoever. I WISH my boobs would get smaller!!! Alas, in my third year of training as in all the others, no. I'm probably more like a 32, rather than a 34 now, but the "D" part hasn't changed one iota. :P
Oh, and my ass has gotten way rounder from all the bike riding. Joy.

just follow the directions in the movie title. then, believe me, they will come back with a vengeance.
have a nice day!

Mine got smaller too when I lost weight, but in a DDD down to D kind of way (so I was happy about it). Then I got pregnant and they spiraled OUT OF CONTROL. At only 4 months my DDD bras are too small - gawd help me when the milk comes in. Right now I'd KILL for a B cup.

first of all - woohoo on the half-mary. you totally have the guts to make that happen. you will do it, and it will be awesome.
and i can empathize with the boob situation. it happens. there's no stopping it. it just means you have to work harder to make the proportions match. or buy fancy, padded, push-up bras. sigh.

Very Sexy Bra. Victoria's Secret.
That's all I'm going to say -- check it out for yourself.

Wow, it's good to know there are other larger chests out there and racing too. What i would give for mine to get smaller (currently D) since i'm only 5'2. Maybe i'll be inspired to step up the training in hopes they'll shrink. as of now, i seem to have shrunk everywhere BUT there.

oh and thanks for the review, i'm so going to see Knocked up now..
Posted by: Becks | June 7, 2007 9:23 PM
At first, when I saw just the title of your blog post I thought - well, that's one way to put it :)
Can't wait to see that movie!
Re: BOOBS Aren't you glad they aren't in the way anymore when your run and train?!? Just wait until you get 'knocked up' some day, *then* you'll have some really BOOB issues :)

See, I'm married, and I'm old(er), but I'm still a guy. When I meet you women, I try very, VERY hard not to think of boobs. This post is making it difficult . . . not to think of them . . . boobs.
Must think of kittens . . .
Puppies . . . .
Bible verses . . .
**sigh**
It's not working.

The drop in body fat without a drop on the scale probably means you've just built up muscle, which weighs more.
Sorry I can't help you on the boob front - as it is, if mine were any smaller, they'd disappear...
