My mirror loves me. Every morning it tells me I'm at least ten years younger and at least ten pounds lighter. Somehow I always leave the house looking like a supermodel. That is, until I step out the door. Somehow I turn into the bride of Frankenstein! I know my mirror loves me, but why does it lie to me? When I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror at the gym, I cringe! Clothing store dressing rooms are worse! Hey, people who run those stores, here's a tip: people will buy more clothes if you have flattering mirrors in your dressing room!
OK, I thought Jillian Michaels was mean, but after today's body pump class, I'm not so sure. The instructor, Scott, forced me to increase my weight on lunges. OK, I needed it. It really sucked at the time, but I can tell it's going to make a difference. I think we all need someone to kick us in the butt! Usually my friend Kristi and I challenge each other, but she couldn't make it today. It was kind of fun, actually. There are just days when you wouldn't kick it up otherwise. I'll say to her, "OK, you can stay where you are, if you can't handle it."
Not only did I feel amazing after class today, but it was cool when someone came up and said "good job" after. Of course, now I'm gonna have to kick it up more and more. Oh well, BRING IT ON!
I can't believe, though, that I forgot to weigh myself. It's the one-week mark, and I was so focused on the workout and getting back to the office for a meeting, that I completely forgot that it was weigh-in day. Well, my home scale says I've lost three pounds! Yeah me.
Went out to celebrate, but kept it very healthy: grilled salmon, plain baked potato, carrots with no butter, half a roll. I did have two glasses of red wine. Hey, you've gotta splurge a little.
It's running tomorrow. I've got a 5K to run Sunday. It still amazes me that those people on Biggest Loser can't run one mile. I cannot imagine getting that out of shape. Even when I eat poorly, I keep exercising. It keeps me sane!
Well, I've gotta go. Can't wait to feel my buns of steel!
