May 6: 100 minutes Bikram Yoga.... nursing a sore lower back.... will probably keep doing yoga this week until it feels better....
I had an interesting moment in class. We were doing the triangle pose and I caught a glimpse in the mirror and was admiring someone's amazing leg muscles (quads) and then I realized I was looking at myself! I always frown upon my legs because they are anything but small, but they are STRONG and muscular!
May 6:
-Several foiled cardio attempts: arc trainer, spin bike and elliptical all aggravated my hip after 5-10 minutes :\
-Pullups, dips, tricep extensions, DB bench press, hip adductor and abductor machines, DB Bulgarian split squats.
45 minute spin class with weight intervals -- the lateral raises definitely gave me twinges the day after my bench pressing/pushup day
3X10 70lb adductor machine

For a minute there, you saw what other people see, not what you've superimposed over yourself.
It's so hard to catch one of those glimpses.
It's so hard not to look at ourselves like a dog show judge -- not to immediately start some new self-improvement plan.

As usual-- wise words from you. I tried to look at myself objectively the other day and see what parts of my body I think look alright. I decided that my arms, upper chest/back are fine. It is basically my tummy area that I really don't like..... below the tummy is okay-- not great-- but okay. So, I tried to be the optimist and tell myself that there is more that I like than don't like. Unfortunately, our tummies are always right there and easy to see and criticize.
