Does My Bum Look BIG in This???

Yesterday I tried on some Michelle Bridges "One Action" workout gear in Big Dub.  I thought I looked pretty good from the front - "I can pull this off" I thought to myself....."Better just check from the back", I thought handing my phone to my almost 3 year old daughter - "Take a photo of me from behind Lucy....."

Agast!!

Where did that massive bum come from?? Oh Dear - I definately can't pull off these size 8 tights!!!

So I bought them anyway (Come on Mish - $24.95!!!??? How could I not???) as I decided they shall be my GOAL pants - to put on periodically and see if I have achieved a better looking butt!!!

So I posted this photo on the L&S Facebook page and it sparked a BUM chat like I've NEVER seen before!!!



So all up 106 comments about my bum and the conversation flowed into the night with bum pics popping up everywhere!!

Point is - I am self concious of my bum, I know I have big thighs and saddle baggies coming off the sides - and this I want to work on this round.


I was, I gotta say - horrified by the shape of my bum in these pants!! I am going to work on increasing my leg weights this round (outta sight) and really getting good form on my squats and lunges. 


One of the Pirates, Kylie posted this for me....


And I intend on giving it a go when the round starts next week as an extra regime to my Lean and Strong Program.....and the 10km Running Program.......


I'm glad, although initially horrifed, that I got Lucy to take this Picture because now I have a bench mark and will take on the same pose, in the same pants in 12 weeks and see the great difference I have made.....


Oh and I also made a bet with a fellow QLD Pirate, Claire, that I would buy french knickers and post a photo of my bum in them on the facebook page in week 12 to prove how dedicated I have been to my bum throughout the round.  There was also talk of meeting in Myer Queens St for her to take the photo herself, and then of a catwalk style presentation on the Mall Stage, but I'm sure that wont be happening.....well who knows...


Watch this bum....I mean SPACE, watch this space!!
