Spandex - it's not for everyone
I've been watching the Olympics off and on since they started over 10 days ago. I've seen a little of everything including swimming, diving, gymnastics, track and field and volleyball. Every single athlete looks so, well, athletic. Healthy, toned, muscular and fit. By being in such great shape, it allows them to wear the appropriate technical gear to perform at the top of their game. For some that includes the dreaded spandex. But they look fantastic! Even in slow motion they look fantastic. Not one single ripple, jiggle or shake. As I've been watching the athletes perform and have been impressed by their physique, I actually laughed out loud (yes, I really did) as to what I would look like wearing spandex, leotards or bikinis that the beach volleyball players wear. Let's just say the ratings might go down...or perhaps they might go up. Did you see her?! I would be rippling, jiggling and shaking all over the screen. I'm actually in fairly decent shape, but fairly decent shape does not afford me the luxury of wearing spandex...nor would I want to! Perhaps if there was a mom Olympics somewhere. (I heard the term mom Olympics from another mom blogger) I'd fit right in wearing my Nike sweat pants, stained t-shirt and flip flops. Nonetheless, the mere thought of it made me laugh...in fact I laughed all the way to the freezer and enjoyed my favorite ice cream with my son. 4 comments from 4 users

Can't they play volleyball in regular shorts and tank tops like the rest of us?? But I guess that's why we're "the rest of us" and they're in the Olympics... What flavor ice cream, by the way? posted by

Yeah, if I tried to wear those beach volleyball outfits, you wouldn't even be able to see the bottoms. My bum and belly would just swallow them whole.

I wondered out-loud why the beach vollyball WOMEN have to wear those tiny bikinis? I thought it was a little... um... un-athletic. Don't get me wrong, they looked GREAT! But can they really play in those? Obviously, but I have no idea how.
Yeah, my belly jiggled as I laughed watching as well. Sad.
