C4AC #2 – One step forward

Tulip Tree I was looking forward to this day all month as well next Tuesday (able to start paddling again) but today I was allowed to head to the gym. I was going insane and driving my mom nuts since I could not do anything.

More I thought about it over breakfast this morning was to skip going to the gym for another week or two. I don’t want to be stubborn and do something and injury myself more. Then again, I didn’t want to head there and just use the treadmill. Waste of time, gas and trying to find a parking spot. Since today was amazing and felt like spring I went for a good 30 minute walk with my ipod (and camera). One thing I forgot to do before I left was to put sunscreen on, let’s just say I just started my 2009’s tan.

I’m hoping to head for a walk daily or every two days for 30minutes to an hour just to get the blood moving again and it will give me something to do until I feel like I’m able to do more at the gym then I can now.

I really wish this subdivision I now live in had sidewalks; most of these houses aren’t even 10 years old yet. Sometimes I don’t feel safe walking on the curb/side of the road when a car is going 80 KM/H down the street when you should be going 50 or below (there is a park near by).

On the walk I saw this Tulip tree blooming, normally I won’t stop but having camera in hand, I just had to take a picture to say Spring has finally shown up (well at least here).

C4AC #2 – The Annoyance of Clothing Stores

I decided it was about time to find some more clothes that fit this new body shape since a good half of my clothes aren’t wearable anymore they just look to baggy on me. So have been surfing around getting ideas from a few store websites so by the time I head into the mall I get a better idea but when visited a few stores I got a headache.

Don’t mind places like Old Navy but I dislike their website. If your gonna show clothing for people in all sizes (0 – 22+) why not find models that fit those sizes category instead of having a size 0 – 4 models picture for every product even in the pregnant section. Sure it maybe cheaper but for me if I don’t see a model/picture of someone in the outfit in my size clothing without curves or MY rack size, I’m not going to purchase it.

Also been noticing with a few other huge name brand stores that they may show about 10 outfits of their up and coming season and that’s it. So by the time your in the mall you find out they target the petite crowd (Under 5ft’3, up to size 6). Why can’t people put a disclaimer on the site saying we are targeting this kind of customer since the company already has it on the stores window? Oi.
