I had to laugh at myself yesterday when I was working out.  I finished the day with a drop set of curls via an ez-bar.  Keep curling while my brain is yelling “stop stop stop”, strip off some weight and repeat.  I kept stripping off weight until finally I was down to just the bar.  How ridiculous must I have looked standing there curling the bar with a pained look on my face?  “You watching this?  This baby must weigh at least seven pounds.  Watch me do another rep!”

The old me would have been really self conscious/embarrassed about this.  Now I really get a good laugh out of moments like this.

The pic on the left makes me LOL because I’m trying *really* hard to flex.

It’s been said over and over on here but you have GOT to take progress pictures.  I am so thankful I took pictures of myself when I started off.  When you see yourself in the mirror day after day it’s hard to gauge changes over a longer period of time (at least it is for me).  I was very surprised by this comparison that I just did.  I can’t believe how I look in the left pic.  I look skinny-fat!  Seeing proof of hard work paying off is so rewarding and makes me want to push for even more.
