Feeling the Burn

A bit over a week ago, after finally crystalizing that I will never go to a gym because 1) I don't want to pay for a gym membership and 2) I will never in a million years wake up early enough to go there before work, especially on days when "before work" means making matcha in my kitchen before I sit down on the couch, I ordered a set of resistance bands. I used them previously to do curls and ended up fine, but yesterday I used them to do squats (3 sets of 20--all the advice I found said to do more reps if using resistance bands vs weights). This morning I felt a little sore but mostly okay until I had to climb the stairs down from our home and then again to get up to the L platform. They still hurt even now as I'm sitting at my desk. Well, I'm going to keep it up so that doesn't happen anymore.

I'm going to pick up a custom-made dress shirt today. I have a noodle-limbed CLAMP character body, so finding any sort of clothing that fits me is a struggle. Shirts are okay compared to pants, though, and I just noticed that the pants I'm wearing now have a small rip on the knee. In the time [instagram.com profile] sashagee and I have been together I've gone through like six pairs of pants and all of them because the knees gave out. It's hard enough for me to find pants and now I have to deal with this? I'm going to see if Suit Supply has any pants that aren't dry clean only because maybe I could get a set of pants that actually fit me and won't rip basically immediately. Those are difficult to find at the best of times.
