Good morning, ladies who lift!
It’s a new week and I woke up knowing that today will be a great day! Maybe it even won’t rain here in Pittsburgh for a change! All this water has been great for my herb garden but the weeds are going crazy this year, too. So I spent yesterday outside, pulling weeds, sweeping the driveway, cleaning the grill etc. I had on a pair of jeans and my tankini top (straps pulled down) since I was trying to even out my (slight) tan. Along waddles my (obese) neighbor and her (also obese) dog, who looks at me and sniffs — in a snotty voice — “still going to the gym, I see — you’re getting awfully muscular”. Do you know what? It didn’t even bother me in the slightest! There was a time when I would have felt self-conscious or questioned what I was doing or been embarrassed, but no more — I LIKE my muscles. And I sure am happier now with muscles than when I was overweight and out of shape.
So — lifting my coffee cup high — here’s to the ladies who lift and who have muscles and are proud of them!
I’ll be back later ... gonna run and do some cardio early, hit the grocery store (gym and grocery store are side-by-side — totally convenient), and then do chest later this afternoon.
