My SHT..You Asked For It!

As many of you know, Beth from SUAR has challenged us to tap into our SHiT (Special Hidden Talent).  We all have one.  Nose flaring, throat burping, ear wiggling, lighting farts, talking like Donald Duck, etc.  


I thought about showing you all how I can get my boobs to point in two completely different directions or maybe how I can push my stomach out really far so that I look six months pregnant.  I have several fun things I can do but there is one that takes the cake. And here is the video to share with you.  I still can't believe that I'm putting this on here.  


Beth, I will continue this skin stretching as soon as I get word that I'm in the running for winning this thing.  Otherwise, I won't be exposing myself to any additional "making an ass out myself" video time.  I only show you the beginning here.  


In this video I:

  • Ask you about these new Zensah compression tights that I'm pretty sure are supposed to be worn with shorts over them.  ???  Yes?  No?  
  • Show you the pocket on my butt
  • Show you the small hair on my stomach that needs plucking.
  • Demonstrate that my stomach has no props
  • Sing for you.
  • Stretch my skin.
  • Continue talking when I think the camera is off.







What is your SHT?  Also, I want to know all about what your "Balance Buckets" are so please go check out our new Art of Filling Balance Buckets post.

    haha! You are so cute! And ripped!! If I look like that in those tights, then I say no shorts over them!

    Holy dough! That is a great analogy to your skin stretching!

    AHHHHH that freaks me out a little. but if my abs looked like that I'd be happy to show any talent to the world!

  13. JennJuly 16, 2011 at 5:25 PM

    OK-back! Got to watch with sound. Seriously, you better win!! OK-no shorts over them. Nope. And I've told you before, you can't pull 6 months. Maybe 4, I CAN do 6 months-ha!! OK-I don't want to see this boob thing but are you serious about that?? You need to join the circus here!! Oh-and speaking of boobs-the handful is AWESOME and I'm thinking you are wearing it in that video!

    SO, really did you train your skin to do that? I'm seriously in awe that it goes back so tight. This is like the discovery channel. I'm making my girls do this right now. Yes, we are all sitting watching tv and stretching our stomach skin!!

    You and your mom seem like you have so much fun together! I love love your fun goofy personality!!! Ok, off to read your Art of Runninghood post!!

    You should go on "America's Got Talent" cuz that was an amazing display of pure talent. How can you have killer abs and stretchy skin at the same time?! It's like a riddle. I hope you win Amanda.

  15. Lisa @ Eat.Pray.Run.July 16, 2011 at 7:01 PM

    DANGIT!! And I really wanted to win that shirt...but no shoulder dislocation or tongue twisting is going to beat THAT! ( : Good to know you're still just as "talented" now as you were 13 years ago!

    LOVE those Zensah compression tights. And, shorts over tights = nerdy (but that's just my opinion). You look like you can rock 'em just fine by themselves!

    OH MY GOSH!!! I wish you could have seen the video of me watching your video! You better be in the top 3 with stretchy skills like that! ;)

    Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness. That is bizarre! (And hilarious!)

    P.S. You look amazing in the tights and, no, you should not wear shorts over them.

  18. CharJuly 16, 2011 at 10:24 PM

    Weird!!

    I've been wondering now if that belly hair has been forcefully relocated from another part of your body. Not mentioning which part but my word of the day is Brazilian.

    OMG...I can do this too! I laughed out loud watching you do this! No stretch marks for me either =).

  20. JillJuly 17, 2011 at 8:10 AM

    Wow....that was kinda freaking actually. Can I say I had a hard time watching it at the end? I thought you were going to pull your skin right out of ya! But totally worth it for no stretch marks, yeah!!!!

  21. MalloryJuly 17, 2011 at 8:20 AM

    WOW. You are one brave lady!! I had to cover my eyes a few times because of the skin stretching thing, but I definitely think you should win the contest!! I think those tights are fine without shorts over them... I mean why else would they have the little pocket if you were supposed to cover them?

  22. XLMICJuly 17, 2011 at 8:28 AM

    Ummmmm…yeah…kinda gross :P

    You can make your boobs point in different directions… I can make my nipples touch each other. No video or picture of that. LOL

  26. CynthiaJuly 17, 2011 at 1:49 PM

    First off you are freaking cute and have an amazing body!!
    Second wear the tights without shorts!
    Third I can't believe you can stretch your skin that much! It's weird but I so wish I could do it haha. Yes i just tried too.

  27. Chris @ Heavy StepsJuly 17, 2011 at 3:00 PM

    Holy stretchy skin batman! That is the SHT! :)

  28. RainaJuly 17, 2011 at 3:55 PM

    Dang. I tried to stretch my skin and just cannot get it to go that far! If I do, it certainly won't snap back!

    The tights....so the guy at eugene running company told me either way. Of course, I WASN"T wearing them. haha. And a guy selling stuff would say something like that....But you look great!

    I think the rule is - if you can see your underwear color through them you should wear shorts over. So just don't wear underwear and you'll be good!

  33. LindsayJuly 18, 2011 at 7:59 AM

    You are so cute. So is your mom! That is a weird idea you had though back in the day... I wonder if it was the key to avoiding stretch marks or if it's just cause you're tiny... You could sell this technique and become a millionaire!! Crazy how stretchy your skin is while still having a frigging 6-pack... I am jealous. All stretch here ;)

  34. ChristieJuly 18, 2011 at 8:00 AM

    okay, so you seem like the most fun and sweet person! Loved this post...Video's seem to let you 'get to know' someone better. Anyways- you should totally win the SHT! and ps. holy awesome bod woman! :D

    This is hilarious! You are too funny! Ha maybe I should start doing that so my skin gets used to being stretched before babies!

    Side note, my gosh you are ripped! Your body is amazing, especially after three kids! One hot mama!

  38. Becky HJuly 20, 2011 at 2:56 PM

    My vote is no for the shorts, and also that you should win that contest... sort of wish I had thought of it before I had kids and got tons of stretch marks and therefore have skin that won't go back:-)
