Marcelyn – I want to know what sports bra can hold you like a concrete block and still be comfy... Double D girls need lots of love and support...
The bra is made by enell. They are seriously strong bras. They are not a stretchy fabric and actually are a satin so that your clothes slide across them instead of hanging up on it like sometimes happens with bras and clothes. I was a size 2 according to the website but when I went in to try one on at a local place I ended up being a size 1. Probably the only time I will ever see a size 1. lol The size 2 just had some baggy spots and when I jumped up and down I got bounce. With a size 1 there is absolutely no bounce whatsoever. I would advise trying one on before purchasing or at least making sure you can exchange it if it isn't the right size. They are very tight but not uncomfortable. It took me a couple of wears to get used to it but that's true of any bra for me. I just make sure I hang dry them as any shrinkage (unlikely but always possible no matter what they say) would not be good.
So what makes them good? Like I said, no bounce. Holds you secure and has complete full coverage. The back has a support design too. You have to hook them at the bottom, tuck in your bosoms, hook a couple more hooks, tucks some more and adjust, hood, adjust, and so on.
My daughter is a DDDD and she wears the sport for working out and buys the "Lite" version for daily wear. She says that her back doesn't hurt since she's been wearing them.1 -
I went and picked up my packet for the race on Sunday. Scored some new shoes at the Expo, always good deals at the Expo. I also went by a PT booth and they taped up my shoulder to give it some support during the race. I'm planning on just walking the race and not running. I've got my mile down to a 14:30 minute so I'll come in well before the 4 hr time limit. Of course all that could fall apart too.
So on Sunday I will join 33,000 other people and hit the streets of Houston. The amazing thing is about the time I'm passing mile 3 the winner of the half-marathon will be crossing the finish line! lol But the goal is to finish that's all for me. I'm not even trying to match my normal time, just finish.

Joyce sorry about your friend. :flowerforyou:0

Joyce – Whoops! Spoiler Alert! That one was the one we saw last week. Hopefully, you can delete and hopefully forget what I said. Sorry; maybe we were not affected by something; the Oscars or President’s Goodbye Speech or something that Louis doesn’t normally watch on the other channel.
Condolences for the loss of your friend this morning. When my boss died, they had a memorial service (he had been cremated due to all the weight he loss) and one of her sisters and husband (of brother in the Coast Guard) could not make the memorial service because of being in court. Her brother is a JAG Officer and her brother-in-law are both attorneys. So about another month later when all 4 of the siblings could be together they had a military funeral for him, probably attended by more people. A 2nd Memorial Service and (private) burial at Andersonville Cemetery. A landmark in Georgia which was a prison for captured Yankee soldiers. It is near Americus, GA … between Byron and Ft. Valley if you ever get down to Georgia and like this type of Museums. A couple of times a year they have an enactment from that part of the Civil War. I've never seen that. I think, if I remember correctly, that the prison, cemetery are not in the same spot; maybe one is across the road. They had visitation, and the line was all the way into the lobby; and another funeral room down the same hallway. People mingled around and were not really actually standing in line. I did not ever go up there to see it and we have lived in the Albany, GA area for 40 years, interrupted by a 2-year stint in Macon, GA. That was a hard move both coming and going; but, I sometimes think that things happen for some reason and all in God’s timing. I go to a MD in Macon, GA (about 2 hours away) to meet with some of my former HS classmates. Can you adjust your TENS unit when you are having a particularly rough day? When I had my really bad wreck I wore a TENS unit for quite a while; and, I could adjust it and as I started not needed it set up on ‘high’ I could lower it by numbers as soon as I felt like it.
KJ - You daughter made a beautiful bride. My mind was 'in the gutter' this evening ... go back and closely look at the first picture of you and your husband. RITFLMAO!
Allie – Only you know how ‘reasonable’ or ‘unreasonable’ Tom can be; so if you try mediation and he tries to drag it out, ask that you get a Bench Trial … in most states (such as in FL – which is a ‘community property state’ … the woman actually already own 50% of the property that was bought after they married. I agree with Mia in MI’s last sentence … figure out what is fair and stick to your guns. Having it written out and discussing it with your attorney will help him/her know if it is reasonable or what can be substituted in lieu of something else that you might rather have. A ‘hold harmless clause’ is something that you need to talk with your attorney about, so if he is told that he has to take on certain debts to pay off, and doesn’t it will be something you can show to any collector and they cannot make you pay. It might also save you from filing bankruptcy just because he has/does. Also look at his 'retirement' account, if he has one ... and how much was put into it after you married. My sister was also 'able' to collect from her husband's SS, which was more than she could if she collected on hers. That might be a Federal thing to check into. Talk to your attorney with that ‘in mind’. It works both ways … you would also have to agree to it.
Skuenhn48 – I’m sure that people like Pip and Heather can tell you how to do it. I’ve only done it once – but I went a different route than I am sure these ladies do. It's not difficult to do once you do it (or do it often).
Someone has set up a FB page named Albany Storms or Albany Storm Damage (maybe they will announce the site again. Or go to WALB-TV.com (or net) to see pictures of videos. Looks like a bomb dropped. Supposed it was just a matter of seconds; but, the weather channel and the meteorologist said that everybody in the storm area (cone) needed to get to shelter immediately. They are listing things that they need to help those affected by the damage need to help recover. They have already picked up 48 Thousand cubic yards of debris; and, that is just starting it; some areas have not even gotten their power back … since last Monday night.

***Much more Ice-fog in these parts - everything is so covered with frost it appears as though there’s a thick coat of white hair growing off the trees. Temps will be heading down to -10F here and predicted to reach -40 to -50 not too far away in the interior of Alaska. I have my car plugged in at night with a block heater to keep the oil viscose so I can get to work in the mornings.***
No kidding about the ice fog! I was driving to Anchorage a couple of days ago and all I did was drive in and out of it. I will tell ya though, the ice fog is so pretty at night! One year, I thought I was going to be a tough girl and not put studs on my car...

Did an hour of a step DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an ultimate weight training and cardio DVD.
gotu - what I do is during the day I write down on a piece of paper what I ate, then I record everything. If I didn't do it this way, I know that I'd forget something and not log it. There have been times when I really did forget something and because I had it written down I logged
Alison - feel better fast
cat - just because you had 2 Krispy Kreme donuts, don't give up the whole day! Log it, you might find that you can come close or not go over on your calories for the day. Where do you live? My daughter lives in Reston
Well ladies...I have two problems. One thing is that I went shopping yesterday. I got so much fruit that I can't fit it all in the fruit drawer. The other is that I have so many DVD's that I'm finding that they're falling to the back. What to do???? I know, I know...these aren't big problems, as a matter of fact, they are good problems to have.
It was 70 so Vince and I took the rest of the Christmas decorations in, then I helped him arrange (or start to) things in the garage(s)
Betsy - that's what this forum is all about! sharing
Loved all the pictures. Everyone looks so wonderful
Joyce - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend

Shannon - its really so pretty I love it but seriously slippery stuff - no doubt! I hope you suffered no injury from the slip into the ditch.
The newspaper had some really great pics posted today https://www.adn.com/slideshow/alaska-news/anchorage/2017/01/12/fog-cold-temperatures-have-created-perfect-conditions-for-a-frosty-anchorage/

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening My Dear Friends,
I’m still purposely not responding to anyone individually so I can try to keep up. I’m still spending some time most days at my friend’s house for one reason or another but hopefully that will end soon. The movers come Monday to pick up her things we are sending and then I’ll decide what to do with what’s left.
I’m trying to make arrangements for new flooring to get the house ready to rent. I’ve shown it a few times but about ready to turn it over to a realtor. I’ll still oversee any improvements and/or repairs but won’t have to be involved in trying to rent it.
I’m loving all the pictures. I congratulate all of you with victories and NSVs and send (((Hugs))) to all with struggles. Be brave and hang in there and know we are all here supporting you.
to any Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.
I Love you

Does anyone have pedals under their desk? I bought some a few years ago and somehow they wound up outside. I think I cleaned them and forgot to bring them back in. Anyway I sit at a computer all day, so I brought them back in and I pedal while I work. Just wondering if you've tried it? Do you think it's doing any good? I only log the pedaling if I consciously time it. I cant imagine its too different from stationary or recumbent biking.2

Joyce, in cold Indiana: So sorry to see you have lost a friend. So happy to see he did not have to linger long in hospice. I hope his friends and family got a chance to say their good-byes.
Lenora was describing Chicago med in her post. I think that what happened in Code Black is that Rollie decided to have the brain surgery after all and what we were seeing did not in fact happen at the hospital but was what he was seeing/dreaming while in surgery. In the end it turned out that what we were seeing as an episode was actually pretty much what happened in his life when he was younger so I think he had those "dreams" because of the questions he was being asked during surgery. I also think what happened in the episode was not "real" because the events so closely mirrored Rollie's life. That's why I'm voting on "it was all a dream."

Caught up! Whew this month trying to keep up is like a reading marathon! Don't have to much to say tonight except it's Friday! Tomorrow going shopping with both of my daughters for next weekend's wedding of one of my grandsons. Really looking forward to spending time with them.
Ding ding ding - NSV - when I started on this journey at 350lbs I was wearing size 30-32 pants. Yesterday I bought size 24 and they are still big in the waist (it's just my normal shape - always much smaller waist than hips) Wonder what size I will end up wearing this time next year?!
Talk to you all tomorrow.
Love to all.

BTW - I'm sure that all of you Southern Ladies in Georgia are going to be nice to our Seattle Seahawks while they visit your state and OBLITERATE your football team!!! GO HAWKS!!!!!

Hey Ladies
I'm definitely not caught up with you all but this is as close as it gets tonight.
Heather - Wow! 3 years at maintenance. I hope to achieve that one day.
Barb in Edmonton - Sounds like you are having an excellent jump start
Pip - That man of yours! Swooning over here. Floyd the pup is also a real cutie.
Cheri - Amazon really does sell everything.
Canookie - The story about your parrot was very funny.
Clarebare 60 - Going through best cancer is no small thing, cut yourself some slack.
Chris in MA - Nice holiday nails.
Becca - I am sorry that your sister is not communicating. It hurts.
Allie - Sending you positive thought.
Work continues to be difficult. It is a bit better there. Creating 3 contests and reinstating the Social Committe
seems to help some.
Serious discussions with my DGS, It seems like he is moody and withdrawn a lot of the time. We played Scrabble on Thursday. My only regret that Ryan took over. I do love that game.
Currently reading The Year of No Sugar. I would like to give it a shot. My poison is sugar/chocolate. I think it would be worth it.
Shredding continues. Day care at the Y in 1989 was $40/month. That was with the subsidy.
My sister phoned me. Her cat is dead. 1 month with her and the cat is gone. She let Skittles go in the sewing room. I think he ate thread or something. She told me that she can't come to my DGD's party because she is ordering something in tomorrow night. It actually sounded like she didn't want to worry about a gift . I was upset with her but got over it.
Chinook is here but still cold in the wind.

Hi all!
Woke up at 5.15 with holiday nerves. Quite pleased I've got this far before they've cut in. I will start packing today as that always helps me and make "to do" lists. I'm worrying about the house as well. Got to leave it in viewing condition. I also worry about leaks and power cuts. However, I will do what I can go assuage my fears and then leave the rest to fate.
I'm like this every time we take a big holiday, especially long haul. I'm always fine once I've got to the airport.
Thanks for listening. I'm going to have to reread my Daily Stoic book.
