Stomach-bra

I know I've put on weight when I'm bouncing around my gym class and I wonder why nobody's invented a stomach-bra yet.

I go through phases of working out; it's all or nothing. Usually all for about four weeks and then nothing for about eight — besides watching exercise videos on the sofa with a blue-cheese pizza, that is.

Having a boyfriend plonked on another island isn't much inspiration to stay in shape. Some people say they work out because it makes them feel good, because the endorphins give them a rush and make happy things happen in their heads. Whatever. I work out to make myself more attractive to the opposite sex. And the unopposite sex. Although maybe the endorphins have some kind of effect after all because I can't seem to remember what the opposite of opposite is.

I started Body Combat again last night, and yoga the night before. I'm meeting Bjarni in two weeks' time and I don't want my stomach-bra getting in the way.

  1. You are very attractive to all sexes, plus animals, and definitely don't need a stomach-bra or any other kind of extreme, constricting underwear.

  2. >>>I work out to make myself more attractive to the opposite sex

    Me too. Isn't that the real reason anybody ever does anything?

    I need a bra for my nutsack.

  3. They have invented a stomach bra. It's called a corset. Most mean fantasize about their partners wearing such things, so you'd be killing two birds with one stone.

  4. I'm impressed with your drive, one-month-on-two-months-off or not. I prefer the confines of my own home, where I can stop with the pushups and pour a beer for refreshment should the urge strike. Note to self: stop that.

    LC, sounds like you have some mighty big balls.

  5. Corsets, girdles, stays... all the same thing.

    They sell these stomach holdy-inny things here called Spanx. I think they're trying to make being chubby some kind of s&m thing.

  6. I think what I mean is SPORTS stomach bra. Not some frilly corset type thing from the olden days, but something in a shiny black material with some kind of swoosh logo on it it.

    I will check out spanx. But then by the time I get round to it hopefully stomach will be all flat and tight like it was back in, um, that daydream I had the other day.

  7. You can get surgical corsets to support your back. They flatten your stomach as well. And they're not frilly.

    But I think frilly ones are better.

    Personally.

  8. personally i like wearing my corset. it's very medieval (big surprise), surprisingly comfortable, and it's the only thing that gives me cleavage. mmmmm boobs.

  9. I love my corsets but the bones do tend to dig so I wouldn't suggest them for workout wear.

    lc, I've just opened a bag of clementines, you're welcome to the netting if it helps.

  10. Chaucer's Bitch, I've never pictured in anything other than full medieval dress.

    In fact, in my head I imagine you to look just like the Wife of Bath, riding around on her horse in her long garments.

    If I ever saw a real picture of you I'd be terribly disappointed, I should imagine.

  11. Harvest knickers... so called because they gather everything in! Not particularly appealing to look at at, but they make for a smooth silhouette. Otherwise you could just breathe in...

  12. "If I ever saw a real picture of you I'd be terribly disappointed, I should imagine."

    oh, thanks a heap! that makes me feel great.

  13. Uh, just because you probably look like a 21st century woman, I meant. I'm sure you are very cute.

    ReplyDelete

  14. I don't own any corsets. That appears to put me in the minority of women here...

    I go to the gym because I like being thin.

  15. Hmm...It occurs to me that Hip-Hop dancing might be good exercise...no, that'll never do.

    Anything called Spanx has got to be good, right?



    Heh, heh...boobs...heh, heh...nutsack...heh, heh.

  17. I work out because the weemen expect quality from me, I didn't get this hunky by accident you know.

  18. Body combat?!?

    Is that kind of thing needed up there in Niceland? Kelso makes it sound like Utopia!

    And Annie, as long as your chin doesn't need a bra, you're doing alright, girl. ;)

  19. It's not really self-defense training, it's just keep-fit.

    I just like how I look doing drop-kicks and shouting "YARGH!" in my black sportswear.

    Hello northern creative!
