All about abs

Still struggling for my abs, and with an in - out flu (the plain old one - since I’m not very well my doctor advised me to wait for my usual shot; fyi, he is against swine flu shots), and don’ forget my foot infection - I don’t know what to trete first. Anyway I have found a short but very intense yoga abs session on www.yogajournal.com/podcasts  (Strenghten your core) Instructor Kathryn Budig gives clear instructions (but helas there are few modifications for beginners) and all the stuff is very interesting and well done. It is tough and at least two of the poses were for me impossible to do and I did modifications f.i a side plank for a half wheel. At the end of the 21 minutes I was sweating but really energized. I dowloaded it (it works well with iTunes) and I shall definitely keep it in my library.

oops boops

Yesterday, since I was too stressed out to do anything else, I put on a yoga DVD and decided to to take a lesson. Going down from plank to cobra, I felt vaguely uncomfortable; doing a second serie, and then  locust and half bow, I realized that what left me so uncomfortable were my breast. They were too big: in a summer I went from a 36B (which meant that they didn’t went unnoticed, either) to a size shifting from a 40B to a 38C (that is definitely big). That’s why all or almost my shirts, while perfectly fitting everywhere else are from tight to I -can’t- button- them- up in no time. What can I do? throw ‘em all away?
