Small victories...
After a few BFL challenges some folk find they can live their lives with a less complications...(read some victories here.)
One of my recent "victories" involves support pantyhose.
As many of you Sister BFL'ers probably know....the right pair can make a world of difference if you're carrying extra poundage. They can stop that jiggle in its tracks--hold back the bowl of jelly and they come in a variety of colors and textures.
Working in an office, I have bought my share of them over the years. I've even wore them in the heat of summer while wearing sandals! Some weeks on the "run" have seen me destroy a pair a day...I used to carry an extra pair in my car just in case. At $3.99 a pair replacing those modern marvels can take a big chunk out of the purse!
My purse is a little better off this summer. I'm saving $$$ thanks to BFL. All that cardio, resistance training and balanced nutrition has stopped the jiggle in its place, and emptied my bowl of jelly. For the past 6 weeks I have gone "sans' a hose" to work.
It's funny---after having been a prisoner to this beauty ritual for over 35 years...I thought for sure when I stopped wearing them...alarms would go off and the fashion police would surely arrest me. But--nobody seems to have noticed and no one has turned me in! My sandals don't slip...and my pedicure has lasted lots longer! I don't get overheating from wearing those tight womanish long-johns that come in a multitude of colors and textures.
Come the Minnesota Winter I'll have to force myself back into those hose...but for now I'm enjoying my latest victory!
Small victories. I'll take them in what ever form they come to me.
What small victory are you celebrating today? Please sure with us!
