It had to finally happen someday.  Today, I purchased the classic sleeveless tri-top!  If you have never packed yourself into one of these, it is certainly motivating.  Generally, there is nothing flattering about them.  Any excess anything on your body now is amplified.  Any tan lines you have acquired through training with any type of sleeves is now exceptionally exposed.  In my case, somewhat blinding to passers by due to the gleaming whiteness of my shoulders.

Before I get to Austin, I think I am going to need some serious time filling in the white real estate from the biceps up.  And, losing 5 or 10 pounds won’t hurt to help the shape be more appropriately distributed throughout this spandex corset.
