At some point I'll do a post about POTS. But frankly I don't feel like it right now. Just take my word that smart researchers and doctors recommend POTS people wear compression stockings. Problem: compression stockings are expensive and mostly marketed to old people with heart failure whose legs swell up. And they can be a pain to put on. And they can be really uncomfortable.

| My cheap Spanx from Zulily |
Enter Spanx. Some of them have cute patterns. They are breathable. And they fit the bill for compression stockings. They are also on 50% at Zulily for the next week or so. I bought all my Spanx of Zulily a few months ago. There's no way I would've been able to afford so many otherwise.
(Full disclosure: If you use the link above I get $15 in Zulily credit. I'll probably use it to buy more Spanx. If you don't want me to get $15 credit, just google Zulily.)
Exercise Update:
Yeah, yeah. I did it. Thursday is weight lifting. My hamies where still sore from Tuesday so I warmed up with 4 minutes on the recumbent bike.
I can now say I lifted weights, since we moved the pin up. That's right folks, 2 weights!

Quads and calves weren't sore, so I figure it was time to up my game.
Hamies, now that's another story. They are still sore from Tuesday's lift. Despite hearing Angels and Airwaves sing "I will not surrender" in my ear...well...I surrendered. 2 sets instead of 5. That was all I could do. I imagine in 4 days when I lift again, the hamies won't surrender.
