Apparently it is about the Panties....

So day four of my new life and I have encountered a problem of considerable concern. It seems in my first attempt at outfitting myself for a weeks worth of workouts, I overlooked a very important piece of the equation...the correct undergarments. Who knew undergarments could be so critical, but apparently it is is all about the right panties.

Day one, super cute boy shorts. Pure accident really, just grabbed the first pair out of the drawer and started my day. 1/2 a mile into my walk on the treadmill, I've already had to readjust five times, and spent the next forty minutes trying to undo the perpetual wedgy. I'm sure the person on the elliptical behind me was having quite the laugh.

Day Two, I at least took a gander at what I was picking and avoided any cute boy shorts. I chose instead a simple bikini pair. Where did I go wrong this time? I picked a pair that were slightly too big, so once again, they were continually changing spots on my body as I moved through my routine. I believe I had to readjust between each set of weights and each new weight machine, but at least this time there was no one directly behind me to giggle at my discomfort.

Day three, I think to myself, " I am going to be smart about it this time. Less is more." I choose a cotton thong. I at least know that my panties should be breathable in this situation even if I am somewhat challenged in the rest of my approach. I must admit, this was the lesser of the previous evils, the thong stayed in place throughout my walk, but I'll just say Ab work and thongs, not the best combination.

So today's big adventure was searching for the perfect work out panty. I googled Workout Underwear for Women. The very first link at the the top of the page was from Jockey. Great. I like Jockey underwear and they are available in a lot of places. I click on the link, and it opens to pictures of three men. Hmmm... Way to point me in the right direction google! So I continue scanning the rest of the page.  There are plenty of links to underwear retailers, but a few links down I finally hit gold.

An article which directly addressed my concerns. Clearly I'm not the only novice with this particular concern. Who knew, apparently it is all about the panties!

Today's accomplishments, purchased new underwear (success still to be determined), filled my fruit basket and got a massage. I think pampering yourself is an important part of wellness too, but thats a story for another day. ..
