Wow… seems like yesterday when I opened this blog, and then, ta-da!, it’s almost February, 2010! Where have I been during all this time?

Well… I was kinda busy maxing all my cards and doing some research here and there. I subscribed on many fabulous fashion sites, like ASOS and NewLook, and I started my bellydancing classes. Wow!, what a surprise when I went for sport shopping! I was prepared to buy yet another tee + unisex or male pants, but when I entered the shop – it happens to be Intersport-Eybl, a huge sport shop here in Graz – and found an amazing yoga pants for 10 euro I thought “well, this place just became my new playground!!”.

At the end I bought two tees and three pants – the last two ones costing 10 euro – and one from Nike, as both tees. One of them is a plain fuchsia t-shirt, which fits pretty well with some sport pants or skinny jeans and the other one is a dry-fit turquese top, with incorporated bra. My pants, instead, are plain black flared ones, with a small swoosh at the left hip. Pretty nice, comfortable and, the best of the best: size 20-22!

Something I realized, while I was shopping at that place, is some major companies (as Reebok and Nike itself) are actually doing clothes for plus-size customers. Ok, since I’m UK 18/20 I’m at the small edge of plus-size chart, but I remember when some years ago it was a real tragedy to find something designed for women and cool for me: I always had to shop at the male side of sport shops, when I wasn’t quitting and looking for my stuff on open markets.

In fact it’s nice to know that they are paying attention on us, and realizing that *maybe* the fact we’re chubby or fat doesn’t necessarily means we’re not wanting to do some workout. Maybe it can become a sort of virtuous circle: I find something cool to wear during my exercises, so I feel comfortable and confident and want to exercise more, hence I tend to lose weight and find something even cooler.

It’s weird, but it can be true. =)
