As noted previously, now that my back is better I have been busy keeping my treadmill "smoking" (thanks, Abby!) putting a MINIMUM of 5k (3.1 miles) on it each day with a walk/run/hill combo. I have taken step to ENSURE cardio training by wearing my heart rate monitor again. I keep 75% of my workout between my MAX and "Burn" rate. And I am noticing that based on some readings I have taken, that my resting HR is starting to go down (an indicator of CV fitness improvement.)
With all of the sweat, come the pounds - I'm down about 6.5 lbs since the beginning of the month. I have about 15 more to go to get to my "tri-fitness" shape of SUmmer 2004. I think it will happen if I stay on schedule.
However, this time around I have noticed a marked loss of, um, "heft?", "mass?" or whatever through my bust. My pre-pregnancy bra size was "37-almost-B". I am thinking its even less-almost now. I barely fill out a t-shirt anymore. I still got plenty of junk in the trunk (and hips, thighs) but I get a pang a sadness when I hear The Commodores on the radio and realize I am not remotely a Brickhouse kinda gal. :(
More like a pancake house!

How ironic that there's a pair of quite ample boobs popping out right in front of me in this comment "pop up".
Personally, I've never been a Brickhouse kinda gal, and I've learned it don't get much better with age! (or excercise).
Great job on the CV fitness and weight loss! |

37-almost-B isn't a pancake ... that describes what I would consider to be a nearly optimum arrangement.
I bet you look far better than you think, Brandy. You might even hear the Commodores playing in th ebackground if you listen carefully ... ;) |

Um, do what I did after I started loosing the weight in my boobs--buy those pushup bras, the ones that push them together and up a bit (not necessarily padded, although some do come with removeable air-filled slip in pads). |
