I read that one could spent up to $80 for a good sports bra, and although no woman likes the feel of her girls bouncing around while running, I thought 80-bucks was a bit excessive. That and all the hype about the more expensive running apparel made of moisture-wicking materials to keep you drier and more comfortable while running. But since I've been working out in the same clothes for the past 5 years or so, I thought it was a good time for me to invest in some new gear.
So what did I, Frugal-Frannie, do? I went to my local Target to check out their less expensive versions of the popular name brand sporting apparel. BIG MISTAKE!!! While the sports bras, shorts and tops were easier on my budget, the quality was not up to par, at all. I ended up taking all of that stuff back and hitting the clearance rack at the Nike Store. It was a bit more expensive, but much better quality.
Anyway, training officially starts tomorrow, so I thought it would be a good idea to get my starting weight and some before photos. As a matter of fact, I may even do this every month, just as another measure of progress. Even though I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm pretty sure that I will during this process.
- Day-0 Weight: 152 lbs.
- Day-0 Body Fat Percentage: 33% (Or so says my aunt's high-tech scale. If this is accurate, then I am officially obese according to the American Exercise Counsel)
- Day-0 Photos: Here I am. No make-up. No photo-shop. No shame, even though it took a lot for me to publish these.
Ready to run,
Almost Thirty
