I've spent the last couple of years working much harder in the gym with weights and am now in possession of a much perkier posterior than I've ever had in my life! i'm 49 btw.

Whilst I love (and am feeling very chuffed about achieving) my 'new' shape, I have noticed that my normal mid rise knickers now spend a lot of time riding up in between my bum cheeks which is uncomfortable and embarrassing !

My darling daughter, herself an 18 year old semi professional sportswoman with her own pert derriere (!) said (somewhat sarcastically in my opinion Grin) "why do you think I wear thongs mum?".

So my downside of getting fitter is the need to purchase some thongs rather than granny pants!

Anyone else discovered their own downside? Grin

Running out of space in my drawers for running gear. I really should throw some of it out, but can't quite bring myself to do it. Same goes for the running shoes cluttering up the hall cupboard - how can I throw away the shoes I ran my first marathon in?!

The amount of extra laundry generated by gym kit. Had a nasty cold for a week and not going to the gym has meant I’ve only needed to do one load this week.
Also having hair dilemmas (I have long, thick hair that takes an hour to wash and dry) do I wash it? Or do I douse in dry shampoo and shove it up?
