Alana's Journey

[ChrissyRyan]

I mentioned last week that I bought new jeans. They're my first pairs of women's jeans, and I finally was able to try them on. I nailed the sizing perfectly. They fit perfectly, and hugged me in the right places. I can't wait for cooler weather. They will go good with my Doc Martens.

That is nice!

I ran my 5k today. I finished a few ticks over 37 minutes. It was my first time running with a sports bra. It made a huge difference. I was putting it on when I was getting ready, and it's such a heavy duty bra, I felt like I was getting ready to head into battle after putting it on.

Dear Alana:
You did very well with your 5K time.
"12 minute miles" is considered somewhat fast.
Keep up the good exercise.
Jogging any distance without a supportive bra is definitely not comfortable.

Congratulations on your 5k. You're doing great! If you're anything like me I betnyou feel great afterwards? I just wear a booster pudh up bra running lol. It gets sore and really hurts near the end but eases the dysphoria so worth the pain!

Congratulations!  The Junior's department is a good place to shop for jeans cut for less curvy women.
They will be numbered in odd sizes, 1, 3, 5.
Women's jeans are numbered in even sizes, 2, 4, 6.
I'd be wary about size 0 as I've seen sizes 0s that are too big for me though most of the time XS or size 2 is my size.

They also come in inch sizes.  My short shorts that match my black zebra bikini top are size 25.  I wore it over a thong bikini bottom.  It has pockets that hold my wallet and car key!

Even though I'm still presenting as male, I'm slowly becoming aware that I'm starting to look a bit androgynous. I've noticed as well that I'm getting a bit more attention from women. I've had a few women check me out from top to bottom.  I wear my hair in a ponytail everyday, but I have very obvious grey hair. I'm not sure if that is playing a part in all of this. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it. 😁
