i like to buy all the materials needed to gear up for any project or plan

So i somehow got on a "shapewear" site this morning.

ya know, bras, panties, hosiery, girdles.

when i realized I will need a sports bra to begin my latest fitness plan. (dancey dance fitness)

(I like to buy all the materials needed to gear up for any project or plan)

so that means Shoes, and a good sports bra for sure.

they had a "no bounce sports bra" .

which instantly took me back to those agonizing teenage years of High school P.E.

here is a story for you...pop some corn it's a long one.

I always took a weight training and Aerobics class, which involved nothing but weight training and Aerobics.

sounds pretty good right?

except for the back and forth lap across the basketball courts to "warm up" .

at which time at least 2 boys PE classes were either doing the same thing or waiting for instruction on what they were supposed to do for the day.

now I've always been somewhat well endowed. (i think i rocked a D cup in high school)

here's why the no bounce bra triggered the memory---

on that one lap back and forth across the cement court, the boys would ogle, some would make rude gestures (hand motions of bouncing) they would even whoop and holler.

teenage boys are animals.

I would be mortified, apparently forever scarred for life.

even though I'd strapped the girls in for the Jaunt with a regular bra and a sports bra.

i ran slow in the back because if you run fast there is more "movement".

now you might think that some of these guys were looking elsewhere, and they might have been. and yet i know certain ones were being rude and crude just for me. because they had the nerve after that to hit on me.

seriously?
you think I'd go out with you or give you the time of day AFTER you just mocked my rockin' hot bod in front of your friends?

um, yeah, problem was i didn't know it was rockin' hot, i felt fat back then. I took the mockin' and gestures as an insult. and i still fear running in public because of the bounce factor.

of course now, there is a jiggle factor as well. LOL

sigh.

sidenote: this didn't happen just in P.E. because one time i really liked this guy in my Chorus class in CA, it was winter and i was covered up to my neck in a baggy sweater ( read: not exposing any cleavage) and i was late, so i was running down the hill on my way to class. and this boy i liked had the audacity to "gesture the bounce" to me after the fact thinking it was so...whatever.

instantly making me not like him at all and almost hating him.

because this is so true....

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

smart boys don't mention the bounce, they just enjoy the view.

yeah i think I'll have to try that " no bounce bra. "

any mortifying tales you wanna share from your agonizing teen years?

words of wisdom...

shopping tips for a good sports bra?
