How to find that elusive motivation

[BonBon]

I discovered one way...

We're going to the beach next week so I thought I'd go swimsuit shopping due to recent weight loss, and I've been pretty happy with the muscle gains. My quads have a nice curve and my legs are looking good, my waist is much more defined and my collarbones are sticking out.

Yeah.

Go to TJ Maxx, grab a bunch of suits and squeeze into the tiny dressing room. Sweet baby cheeses. With those glaring overhead fluorescent lights, I'm suddenly huge, have a giant beer gut, and cellulite ridden tree trunks for legs. What. The. Hell. I swear on my cats that I don't look like that at home!! I have a renewed dedication to hit the weights extra hard when I get back. Holy. Shit.

I should open a boutique that has large rooms, flattering mirrors, lovely incandescent and or candle light, and perhaps complementary glasses of wine. Geesh.

They should totally open a place like that for swimsuits. I feel your pain. Sitting at this desk everyday and the long too-cold-to-exercise winter have done me in.

Is there a cabana boy named Francisco complementing you as well?

*adding that to the business plan*

This could actually work as one of those home shopping businesses. If you we're in someone's home, they'd have wine and hopefully better lighting. But alas no cabana boy.

I'm sure you look a lot better than you think. We are always are worst critic!

I feel like those mirrors magnify things!

Have fun on your trip though! You sure deserve it!
