Just had a (non-fitness) friend tell me last night that I "needed to stop lifting heavy weights" and that I "shouldn’t get any bigger" and that "don’t you want to still look like a girl?!"   I told her she sounded like my mother* and changed the subject.  I don’t think we’re going to be hanging out as much in the future.  I don’t tell her what to do, even in my areas of expertise, unless asked.  Funny that the idea of "being stronger" is repellent to her, but who gets called when she needs furniture moved?  That’s right… me.   Sigh.  And let’s face it, I’m not "big" in any stretch of the imagination, only now do I think I’m approaching "balanced".

*Mom’s actually gotten more supportive, since the whole personal training thing, and the fact that some of her favorite celebrities are starting to "look more toned" as she puts it.  UGH THAT WORD… "toned"  Don’t start me on the "toned" rant.  OMG.
