If I could change one tiny thing right now...

[katinthehat]

I'd make my hair about five inches longer.  It's too short for a french braid and I have to wear a high pony to get it all up at once.  I actually stopped running in my tri on Sunday to be able to fix my hair.

What's your one tiny (and obviously silly) thing that you would change right now to make your life easier?

[kams]

I would have shorter eyelashes so that my sunglasses wouldn't crunch them. But only while cycling.

A trade off pair, if you will.

[Brit]

I think I could go with the longer hair thing. Mine is a super awkward length right now. Actually, it has been since like February. I keep telling myself that it will be better in "just a few more weeks", but I bet I have another 6-8 months of pseudo-mullet.

ETA: I'm getting it trimmed later today, so maybe that will help with the shape and awkwardness.

[bluedaisyus]

I would be 40-50lbs lighter. Which is my own fault and I am working on it, but still.

ETA: I guess that's a bigger thing, does it count? If not, then I want more stylish hair and the know-how to actually keep it up.

[finallykrisb]

A job where I could wear my pj's. I'm so over trying to dress nice for the office. I wear the same few outfits and just don't care.

You're so beautiful Brit. I'm guessing "pseudo-mullet" is the last thing to cross anyone's mind when they look at you!

Weight loss is on my list as well. But I don't consider it a tiny thing. I'm super pissed at myself for letting it get out of control.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted and edited my OP. I'm pissed at myself for letting it get out of control too, but I'm even more pissed at myself that I can't get my act together to get it back under control.

Preach it!

I wish my golden retrievers, who I otherwise adore, did not shed so freaking much. It's always all over me. It makes wearing black, or any bold color actually, really difficult. I am looking at my black shirt at the office today thinking, ugh. Even camel pants didn't save me.

Haha. This is totally me. I have six work outfits that I rotate week in and week out. Eventually they start to look kind of shabby from wearing/washing them so often, so every six-ish months I'll have like a mini wardrobe crisis and make a spur of the moment lunch hour shopping trip to my local BR outlet to buy six more outfits. I hate "dress up" clothes, so I don't get excited about buying them, wearing them, etc. If I could wear flip flops with them, that would be a little bit better. I'm totally a casual kind of girl.

You're too sweet. Everyone knows that I only post the "good" photos on the internet.

That is a slippery slope--when I worked for a yoga clothes designer a few years ago, all I wore was yoga gear and sweats.  And that is when the weight gain really started because I only wore elastic, no sense of a constricting waist band!

My husband hated it (not for the weight gain)--he literally did not see me dress up for TWO YEARS.  Even when we were going out, I wore yoga pants (or yoga leggings) everywhere.  He was so bitter, haha.  I didn't wear jeans honestly for 2 years.

[shauni27]

I would be 25 lbs lighter. 16 lbs down--I CAN do this!

I think my husband would be ok with this. He's super casual (not for work, he wears suits pretty often for work). He is all flip flop and board shorts all summer, Uggs and board shorts all winter.

[shorewife]

I would get over the choking suffocating feeling I get when swimming in a wetsuit.

[wambam]

My uterus would stop bleeding

Good one!

I'd have to go with my hair. I wish it was a little longer so I could braid it. I honestly can't wait until I can chop it all off after ironman. I always wear my hair short and it is easier to race with long so I have grown it out. It drives me nuts. I joke, but the week we get back from FL, I am getting it hacked off.

[CallingAllAngels]

I want to be able to wear regular underpants (not thongs) and not get VPL. Or maybe I just want a rounder butt. Maybe if my butt were rounder I wouldn't care about the VPL? Hmm.

[joenali]

Give me about 4 more weeks of summer break! We have had such beautiful weather and it's supposed to continue through September!!

[Stingyshark]

My hair. I hate it. I'm pretty relaxed when it comes to my hair; I'm very "it's just hair" but OMG i HATE this cut. It just doesn't LOOK right. I'm 100% sure the girl had no idea what she was doing.

I'm not sure what to do. Let it grow out so it can be re-cut.. Or go somewhere and have them attempt to fix it. Every morning I get so mad.. I have never felt this way about my hair before.

Have you tried the LLL Light as Air bikini brief? It sucks that they are like $18 per pair, but you can totally wear those under yoga pants/running tights and not have VPL.

No, I haven't.  Thanks for the recommendation!

I would change that the bit of extra weight I am carrying would go to my butt instead of right below my belly button.

[sadlebred]

So many things!
1. Stop raining daily in Atlanta. Enough. I want my hot, dry summer back!
2. Lost 20 pounds (not happening. My body likes where it is thankyouverymuch.)
3. Not be as stretched thin as I am/less obligations the next few weeks.
4. Work only part time, so that I can fit in all of the other obligations.

None of these are happening.

[raynes]

I would change the fact that I'm awake. I would muuuuuuch rather be sleeping right now. Oh how I wish my days of being home and napping.

[emilyj]

I would figure out why I've been sleeping like crap and fix it!!!

[shelbyann]

I would make the mosquito bite on my ankle magically disappear. So itchy and annoying!

Also, I would make the rain go away. I have never seen so much damn rain in my life as I've seen this summer and I grew up in the PNW.

[breezy8407]

I would bring back the upper 70's from the past 3 weeks. I can't decide if I should mentally battle the treadmill or physically battle the heat in a few minutes over lunch. The biggest problem being that I will sweat for at least an hour in my work clothes after running outside...but the treadmill....uggh.

And also grow two cup sizes just for Saturday. My bridesmaid dress is a little too big on top. And it's too late to get major alterations. Wish me luck....
