I’m Heavy
Sometimes when I’m in an elevator that has bars on the sides for people to hold on to, I like to stand in the corner and left myself up on the bars, pretending that I’m an Olympic gymnast on the parallel bars. Of course, I know that it’s a men’s event, but still, it’s fun to do and it cracks my back nicely. I also like to see how long I can hold myself up by just the strength of my arms…it makes me feel strong!
Anyway, I came across one of those elevators when I was in Vegas.
I put my hands on the bars and lifted. Nothing happened. I tried again. Nothing.
I couldn’t lift up my body weight with my arms.
Of course, it’s no secret that I’ve gained a good amount of weight with this pregnancy, but still, it was a little shock to me that I couldn’t do my elevator-parallel-bars routine.
As I say this, I’m heading out to Old Navy to go pick up a pair of large maternity jeans because the mediums are getting a big snug.
Moooooooooooooooooooooo!
well, before you know it, you will have someone to do the olympics routine with.
how exciting! MOO!
You’re so silly. The lil man loves to do that in the elevators too, only he just sits there. Hope you found your pants at Old Navy, I made an impromptu stop and found some good stuff in the clearance, woo hoo for extra 50% off. Have a lovely weekend.
Don’t you worry, Buttercup. Mom’s of small children have the strongest arms of anyone. Soon you’ll be able to flip yourself in those elevators!
I do that too Christine!!! But only if I’m the only one in the elevator LOL Then again, most elevators have security cameras, so it’s a show for them! hahaha
I haven’t been to your site in such a long time!! Congrats on the baby!! The last time I visited was after I had sent you a condolence email…. I’m so happy for you and Dave!
You a funny girl. =)
Oh, I remember the problem I had was public bathrooms. If the door opened in, I could not get out! I could not fit my belly around the door and I would be wedged between the door and the toilet. I would have to bend way backwards to get out.
LOL
