So, as you have heard, I have been trying to workout with little results on the scale. It has been disappointing. Even though my measurements have been going down, if the scale doesn't move, I'm not happy. Yes, I am one of THOSE girls.
Anyway, Bryce came over while I was standing making dinner last night and wrapped his arms around my waist to hug me.
He said, "Mom!! You used to be this thin, "(holding out his arms about two feet apart), "and now you are this thin!" (His hands now one foot apart). I figured that he may have overheard me talking to Bobby about this and wanting my approval, paid me a compliment.
How smart of a kid is he to put it in terms of being thin. Most men may want to take a lesson in talking to women from him. Notice how he said thin to thinner, not fat to thin!
I say, "Really??!! Why do you think that is?"
He said, "I don't know but this part of you is really smaller!"
I say, "Well I have been trying to exercise..."
He says, "Maybe that's why, I don't really know, but I know you are smaller."
I'm not sure why he said it, because he knew I wanted to hear it or because he is very observant and noticed a change... but I'll take it!! It just might have been the motivation I need to keep going to the dreaded gym. I don't think I will EVER be a person who enjoys working out. I want the results but working out isn't fun for me. It is a chore, like doing the dishes or laundry. Yes, the end result may be clean clothes, but man is it a bitch to wash it and fold it. I am so jealous of people who are so happy and excited to be at the gym. I wonder if they were born this way, like they have a mutated gene or something.
Who knows...but Bryce is usually a pretty honest kid so I'm gonna believe it...I'm getting smaller!!

Congrats girl! Working out is fun if you make it fun. My biggest advice, try classes!!!!
What a smart, sweet kid!! You're doing a fine job raising him! His future wife will thank you. I recommend an IPOD filled with pump-you-up music. It helps TONS while working out. And if you want to go a step further, you can be 'that person' at the gym, like me, and sing out loud. Not belt-out, but whisper loud, like singing to yourself. But then again, I like to pretend like I'm the only one there. hehe
Bryce is the best!
