A Fly on the Wall

Some insight into my conversations with Mr. GymMama...

Mr. GM: "Honey, you've got muscle tone in your abs!"

Me: "I do? No, I don't think so. The lighting in here is bad."

Mr. GM: "No, really, there's muscle there. Right in the center. That's muscle." (as he pokes my stomach)

Me: "I appreciate the compliment, but really, I think that's just last night's chocolate cake. It's sitting like a rock."


Who says I have delusions of toned abs?

Home Again Home Again

After not getting to the gym this morning I was almost dreading going this afternoon. Not because I wasn't looking forward to working out, but because I knew the traffic would be atrocious.

Praise God, because all three kids went down for a nap at the same time this afternoon, so I was able to workout at home for the first time. After 2 sets of lunges, squats and some inner thigh lift thingys I moved on to abs. I got one set of each exercise done before the baby woke up, so that was exciting. I put her on my belly for the other 2 sets and I must say, that's a workout! You can certainly feel your muscles working overtime with an almost 14lb. baby perched atop them. So, the workout is over for the day.

It feels good. I haven't lost a lot of weight. Barely any, really, but I can feel my muscles working and coming out of hibernation. And that's a good feeling. And I swear my baby belly is shrinking. And that's an even better feeling! =)
