Club Half As Small As You: Month 11

August 3, 2009 12:01 am

Welcome to month 11 of Club HASAY! Not sure what HASAY is? Read all about it here. If you’re wondering where HASAY has been, we decided to switch to only posting on the first Monday of each month.

Back That Ass Up

During my last HASAY update, things were looking up. I had finally settled into my routine of hitting the gym a few times a week and even gave up my coveted daily Checkers soda. Then on July 17th, I underwent my reverse boob job. You would think I’d have great news to report since the doctors physically cut off part of my body but alas, no.

My boobs have gotten smaller but my ass has gotten bigger.

The doctor’s orders were to rest and not to do any heavy lifting. I’m not allowed to lift my kids or exercise for six weeks. I spent the first week post op rigidly following those instructions. I laid in bed like a beached whale, only retreating from my room when the kids were contained in their high chairs so they couldn’t attack me. That sounds drastic but with a one and a two year old, being climbed/kneed in the boobs/pounced on are all fair game in my house.

Laying in bed all day with nothing else to do will cause a person to eat her ass off. Although not literally.

It’s been a little over two weeks and I’m gradually easing my way back into life. I’ve been lifting Elliot and only attempt to lift Graham when it’s absolutely necessary and I don’t have backup. I can honestly say that I miss going to the gym but I have four more weeks of taking it easy. So here I am, “taking it easy”. If one more fucking person tells me to “take it easy”, they might get punched in the throat/boob/balls. Next month’s post will arrive right around the time I get the all clear from the doctor so I plan to hit the gym with a vengeance. I have to to level off this huge ass before it gets it’s own zip code.

Please take a minute to motivate the other HASAY participants. Use ridicule if you have to.

Still envious of your boob job!!! My ass is in the same boat and I’ve been working out. Here’s my link http://gone-bananas.com/?p=2594

Ugh, that is the MOST frustrating - when you actually WANT to work out (I know, wtf?) but you get sidelined.

Try to keep the motivation for the next 4 weeks! Um…somehow?

yeah, this is HARD! I had surgery last year and wasn’t supposed to do any stairs or lifting and no exercising for 3 months - that’s a LONG time to sit around. I literally gained 15 lbs - and still have to get it off, plus the other 65 I needed to lose before the surgery!! Frustrating, yes!

I did not have to be on light duty with two little monkeys around though–that makes it even HARDER!!!

Good luck—things will work out in the end.

Can you get a reverse ass job? If so where? Motivation is my biggest problem but it sounds like you’re ready to go when the time comes.

(frantically remembering if I tried to tell you to take it easy during any of our emails so I can wear protective padding when we finally do meet… Damn. That may have happened. I’m screwed, aren’t I?)
No worries! Things sometimes stall when surgery happens! Just take it easy! (SHIT!)

BE CAREFUL with the kid lifting. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be trying not to pick them up. But I’m glad you’re starting to feel better.

Listen to you. Complaining about having to take it easy & having a free pass to have Jaime wait on you hand & foot. You ungrateful b****. OK, kidding. The boob news? Great. The ever expanding ass? Not so great.

I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to not pick the kiddos up. Especially if they’re standing there, staring at you whining for help. But then, smaller boobs right? Did you save them in a jar? How about a give-a-way on yer blog?

Damn it, someone beat me to the reverse-ass-job joke. That’s what I get for falling behind in my bloggy reading duties!

Can you get a reverse butt job?? I think I need one of those, big time. And maybe a thigh job too while I’m at it.

Oh, I feel your pain…not literally, mind you, but I got really frustrated with the mandate ‘6 weeks of do nothing per the doctor’s orders’ after surgery last year - yeah, I think I lasted about 2 weeks before I started pushing some limits…Shhhh! don’t tell my doctor!

Whew! I don’t think I told you to ‘take it easy’ in any of my emails…at least I don’t think I did… unless ‘get some rest’ counts, then that means I’m in big trouble…

I just noticed the other day that from the waist up I’m not so bad…but my butt. Hello! Move over …. it’s huge! Ugh! Sorry it took me a bit to get over here. I came home last night, played with my kid and actually fell asleep at night instead of blogging. Whoo. Weird. I know. But it was nice!

p.s. I did great on WW yesterday. I hope i can do it again!

I’d love if my ass would get a little bigger. MY boobs are perfect *brag* but my belly won’t ever be flat. I even ripped my lady bits out and it still isn’t. Must. Wii. Fit.

I had a reduction when I was 22 and LOVE DA BOOBIES now. I had 6 pounds taken off my chest and when I woke up and looked down I started crying. I totally thought I had pecs, not boobs. BUT, around 4 weeks later I had full function of my arms and no more pain. Almost 3 years later, I’m happier now than I’ve ever been!!!
