This is all of us!!!

I saw someone posting on FB calling jeans "hard pants" -- as in "I don't think I can go back to hard pants after covid"

Hard pants has got to be the best description of jeans I have ever seen.

I bought the most awesome yoga pants early on in the pandemic, and I can't decide if they really don't look like yoga pants, and thus it's ok for me to wear them to teach in. Or if, in fact, I'm not fooling anyone and everyone knows I'm just trying to avoid putting on my hard pants again.

So I went from a 40 waist to a 38. I am sure I will have to fight off the ladies now.

Hard pants is the perfect name. You know you are in trouble when you have to unzip your hard pants to put your socks on. Or clip your toenails.

I’m going for basketball shorts myself.

YMMV.

I think I may have worn hard parts once in the last year? Maybe zero times?

On the other hand, I have gathered a really good set of sweats. My favorite (for men only, sadly) is Mack Weldon.

I would say at least +10.

I redid many of my clothes. I replaced 34" with 36". I bought some, wait..., basketball shorts.

I figure I'll think more about it after I get vaccinated with both shots.

Two. There’s a magic number that I was trying to stay under, and it was fine until January. Oops.

Hard pants? I mostly wear leggings and skirts, even pre-pandemic. I don’t ever want to wear hard pants again!

What are these “pants” you all speak of?

Apparently Cindy’s thread is on point! Article in NYTimes pegs it at about 2 pounds/month, 20 pounds over the year.

I took care of the facial hair.

I feel much better.
