Boob aerobics...?

I am so proud to say that today for the first time in 15 months I found my way back to the gym. I knew the only way for me to be successful at working out was to be a part of a class. If I were to run on a treadmill, I would give up at the first feeling of pain or tiredness, which in my case happens after about 3 mins of cardio. If I am in a group of people the thought of being a weenie or giving up before the senior citizen next to me is so embarrassing I am forced to push through the pain. So I decided to have my first workout be a 1 hour aerobics class. Not sure this was the wisest decision but I did make it the entire time and only took 8 breaks and fell twice! As I was stepping, jumping and kicking in front of a very large mirror I noticed that I had some unusual movement under my clothes.   It seems the loose post pregnancy skin flopped in the opposite direction as my body. Occasionally my stomach flab got to moving so fast it actually knocked me off balance, therefore explaining my two falls! 

During aerobics I noticed that my nursing bra was not quite doing it's job of keeping my boobs out of my face and in an oxygen deprived moment I wondered why we only have bras for our boobs? Why not have a thigh bra or a butt bra, they need to be held in place too? 

Anyway I made it through my first class and I am proud to say that I can still walk and I have only had one glass of wine.  I really like working out and I hope to be consistent but I must come up with someway to strap down that extra skin or I could end up seriously hurt! 
Oh.. and Cole thoroughly enjoyed to post aerobics milkshake! =)

Good job! I know what you mean about everything moving around. That's why I finally had to have it removed! You look great, though!
