Today’s confession: I enjoy looking at cute, buff guys while working out. To me, eye candy is motivating & inspiring, without any other alterior motives. However, there are a couple of males at my gym who are like kryptonite—I can’t even look them in the eye for fear I’ll trip, drool or respond in some other “uncool” manner  because they are just too darn fine. Well today, one case of kryptonite (approx. late 20’s to early 30’s male) approached me and he said, “I like what I see” (was this a pick up line?) and he also told me that I have great legs. I said thanks, smiled and continued my workout (I may have blushed a little, but didn’t drool, thank goodness). My trainer also told me today that I look 20 years younger, the carbs have helped my face fill out again and my youthful appearance has returned. Needless to say I was beaming and quite motivated. I did legs like “Superwoman”: leg extensions max @ 80#, lunges with a 45# barbell, leg press max 290# each side, squats (only 25#), butt blasters, leg curls max 110#, stiff legged dead lifts 25#, outer adductors 110# & donkey calve raises max 220#. I also did 20 minutes on the stair climber and walked to & from the gym one mile each way. No pain yet & still grinning. Guess I’ll be wearing shorts every leg dayJ. I enjoyed the attention. Most times I’m quite and don’t interact with many people due to time constraints, but today was a nice change.

**My gym is fairly conservative and I don’t consider a pick up spot. Perhaps I haven’t been paying attention (LOL)?
