Another butt-kicking workout
Had another butt-kicking at the gym today. Wow, Suzanne knows how to pick 'em. Honestly, haven't felt this tired (or healthy) since high school sports. Good news is the workouts only last 30 minutes instead of hours of practice. Bad news is I am paying someone to treat me this way. Good news (always end on an up) is that Sarah gave me a compliment AND I'm actually seeing the changes in my body. Up until now, I've been working on convincing myself that I'm getting slimmer. People tell me this - friends, family, people at the gym. But my self-image has been "funny, fat, kid-at-heart" for so long that it takes time to change. This last week, I can visibly see that my mid- section is smaller. My brain doesn't half to convince my eyes that I'm slimmer. My eyes see it in the mirror. This is a small, but significant change. Life is good...
