So, I encountered an honest mirror this morning....

I totally abused my body this morning at the gym. I went in this morning in a so-so mood. I almost didn't go in at all. Since I haven't worked out in about two months, it's like I haven't worked out in two years. And that's what my body was thinking this morning... lets just take a break from it today!!! I trudged out the door, and into the gym, and on into the locker room to leave my bag/keys in a locker before my workout. Then I looked at myself in the very, very honest locker room mirrors.

Eww.

Jiggles here, rolls there, bulges everywhere! But hey, instead of discouraging me, I was encouraged to go out into the gym and work to get rid of it all. I pumped hand weights while I warmed up on the treadmill for 10 minutes, and then went on to the weight machines.

Biceps, triceps, back. Repeat. Repeat. 20 reps each.
("Cruise in May!" I tell myself.)

Butt, inner thighs, outter thighs. Repeat. Repeat. 20 reps each.
("Cruise in May!" I tell myself.)

Top thigh, back thigh, lunges (my enemy!!!). Repeat. Repeat. 20 reps each.
("Cruise in May!" I tell myself.)

Shoulders, tummy, calves. Repeat. Repeat. 20 reps each.
("CRUISE IN MAY!!!" I scream to myself as beads of sweat drip down my back and forehead.)

Progress: Since I started just this Monday, I have dropped 1.8 pounds. Kinda makes a girl wonder why the HECK I don't go in every day of my life if I get results like this!!! Hopefully my personal trainer won't be too hard on me next Tuesday morning.
