I had the unfortunate experience of breaking my ankle over the holidays. When I went to the doctor to have it checked out last week, he informed me that the cast will probably come off next week. Our discussion turned to what I will be able to do and what I should avoid for the time being.
My biggest concern was being able to work out. I had started a workout regime last October and am very eager to get back on it. Well, apparently I can't at least not yet. I have to slowly work my stregnth back up before I get to do any running or anything involving any impact. But I can swim all I want according to the doc.
Shudders went down my back. I haven't gone swimming since I had the twins. We've taken them to the pool, but it involves a sprint from where I remove my coverup to the water and vice versa.
I've been saying since we started the workout regime that I need to get a new swimsuit so I can swim. Now that it appears that swimming will need to be my form of exercise at least for a few weeks, I could put it off no more.
So my husband calls me up yesterday and asks if I want to go shopping and we can pick up that swimming suit. Oh yeah, that's what I need my husband impatiently waiting while I try on suit after suit that I hate. But I relunctedly agreed and off we went.
Our first stop ended up being the last. We found the perfect suit at Lands End (in my case one of their outlets) and I am delighted.
Typically, the suits either cover way too little or way too much. I tried on a dozen and most worked fine but one of their
slenderizers is the perfect suit. It sucks in all that you need contained without being unconfortable and doesn't look like a grandma suit. It even got my husband's seal of approval.
I still have to wait a week before I can try it out in water, but if you are starting your search for a summer bathing suit definitely check out the ones at
Lands End today! (Note - their outlets are having a great sale with 40% off the already reduced prices!!)
I loved Jennifer Garner's look at the recent premiere of, Catch and Release. She was sporting a pair of Cartier earings estimated at a value of $60,000.
