As much as it pains me to do it, I’m posting a photo of myself in a sports bra to keep myself accountable to the world. I’m working out a minimum of 3x weekly, an hour each time on top of doing Weight Watchers online but I need a community to keep me honest and out of the bag of licorice on top of the fridge.
So here I am, in all my middle-area-problem glory. No judging. “Don’t you judge me Earl”. Name that show. I gave you a pretty decent hint.
Frankly P, my nine-year-old daughter who took the photo, is absolutely horrified. She cannot understand ‘what on earth would motivate {me} to do something like this’. It’s worse than I thought. I think I can talk myself out of how bad my middle is until I see it on the screen. Ouch. So, Tae Bo, elliptical, walking a few 5ks a week, Bowflex. Am I missing anything?
Photographic evidence to prove I really am walking. I think I need some new sportswear. My *ahem*, cups runneth over.

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
God Bless You! I should be doing the same thing, posting a picture of my lower half online to keep me accountable. I have 2 wedding coming up this summer and would love to be a size or two smaller. Maybe with your inspiration I will post.
You go girl!!!!
I love you for it. And you don’t have as many issues as you think. Work those curves, sister. Mine are gone, gone, gone.
the best best best sports bra I’ve ever used is Enell. Here’s the link thru Amazon. Your “Girls” Will Not Move…even under the most high impact activities (when you get to that stage).
you’re an angel. All the best with your workouts.
I think you are Awesome, Allison! More power to ya. I wish you the best on your quest. You can do it!
whatever… u look fine. u should see my blubber in a sports bra!!!!!
You are so brave my dear! I took a photo of myself a year ago, and I gag everytime I look at it-let’s just say it is horrifying! Regardless, props to you. By the way, is that a little tanning “bunny” I see on your belly? You have time for that too? You are my hero!
You are very brave. And sometimes some cute new sportswear is just the thing to get you outside and running!
This is brave and smart. I need to do this. I will work out for 2 weeks then slake off for 3, I am also trying to loose weight.
Noooooo! I love it! I have thought about posting myself on the blog and just can’t do it. You are a brave, great looking, woman! You really do look great, but you better post pics again after the summer, because after Tae Bo, elliptical, walking, bowflex, you better be looking hot!
