It's a German Thing!

Tonight Mike decided we would do something that works for the Germans. 10 reps of each exercise 6 times. I should have known when he walked in with a stop watch he was serious. He used it to make sure I got my full 45 second break between sets. Of course, the 45 second break decreased to 30 seconds quickly. And when I had to do a wall squat for 60 seconds...I started speaking Russian! Who knew???

This week everyone has been noticing a difference. My response is always, "Really? I'm not seeing it. Keep telling me. This feedback keeps me going." However, I have been striking some poses in front of every mirror I see. The mirror in the bedroom, in the hall, in the bathroom at home, the bathroom at work. I think I am starting to notice. People think I should be able to tell a difference in my clothes. My pants feel bigger, but then I think...well maybe they have always fit this way? So...I pulled out the tape measure...I'm down 9.5 inches total. Even though I'm a results now kinda gal, I'm impressed. It makes me want to drive right back to the gym and work out again!

And another difference which has been very obvious to me has to do with the girls. At first I thought it was this new bra I bought and maybe that does have a lot to do with it. They are certainly not looking like the ones on this girl working out at the gym tonight, but I'm 99% sure hers were fake. The thing is...this is an unexpected outcome. I never ever thought I would be noticing a difference there, but I am!!! ;)
