Geez, i reckon i'd get depressed on the scales every day, especially if i wasn't satisfied with the number...

It's funny you mention rhr, mine's about 54 now, but when i was hypothyroid (and still under-medicated) and training for the half it was 37! The doctor nearly had a fit when he saw the numbers. LOL. It was much harder to get out of bed in those days!

And lol on this too because i know it's a mental thing and not really a reality thing, but i never jog, i RUN! LOL. I read somewhere once that 0-4mph is walking, 4-6mph is jogging, 6+mph is running and it is biomechanically better to walk anything under 6mph as if you jog at 4.5-5mph you just increase wear and tear on your joints but don't get any cardio-vascular benefit. Think it was online somewhere but in an article rather than a blog or whatever. For this reason i only allow "jog" speed with DD (and only then because when i "run" with the pram i want to vomit my own heart as it's SO hard) and push myself the rest of the time.

Enjoy the bra shopping. To make sure you're good with it, try it on, fasten it as tight in the back as it'll go and tight enough in the straps that every part of the fabric is touching your skin, then jump vigorously up and down. If anything moves go down another size. It does feel tighter round the chest than you'll be used to, so go for one with a nice wide band under the BB's. Also, is it possible you're not really a 36? MOst women wear the wrong bra size and i've been measured wrong by so-called professionals a lot of times. A bra that fits shouldn't ride up at the front or the back, the bra and/or wires (if it has wires) should be in contact with your ribs all the way round, including between the BB's, and all your boobie should be in the cup, with no bits escaping out of the bottom or bulging out the top. If you stand sideways and look in the mirror it should be level all the way round and not sit higher at the front or the back.

If it doesn't sit level go down a back size, if you bulge out of the cups go up a cup size. If the cup size seems fine but the back size is riding up at the back go up a cup size and down a back size. If you're bulgin over the tops of cups and the wires aren't touching your ribcage at the front between the boobs go down a backsize and up TWO cup sizes.

I am only wondering because i am 181cm, large-framed, hourglass-shaped and broad across the back and i'm a 34, and by the sounds of it you're probably smaller than me. It's possible you're a 34C or a 32D, rather than a 36B.
