A Big Butt?!

Why do I keep my 4 year old daughter at home with me?! She is telling me repeatedly that I have a BIG BUTT. Arms spread as wide as they can get in measurement. I told her I should be in exercise class, instead of spending time with her. (That was mature, huh?)

What was that song by Sir Mixalot..."I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny..."

The funny thing is...I have a big tummy and a FLAT butt!!

Waiting...

Feeling quite reflective and a little melancholy...

I'm waiting for my Friday appointment with Dr. Dec. I'm hoping she'll give me a yes or no answer regarding pursuing IMFL, but I know she won't. I'm sure there will be a lot of maybe's and alternatives. And I will have to make the final decision. How much am willing to put my body through?

I see my TRIgirlfriends heading down this very cool path and I sooo want to be a part of it! But will my big toe let me?! It sounds really stupid that something as small as a toe, might derail my big plans. I guess that's why it's called a "BIG" toe! But that pain in my toe is altering how I foot strike, which is causing parts all the way to my hip to adjust.

Annnn is having so much fun with this condition! "You're OLD! and arthritic." I rode with her and Jen this morning. Annnn is so good on the bike, even on her bad days, she still kicks my ass.

Someday, I hope to be really good at one of these disciplines. Someday...

Persnickety

This morning in guppies Suzie Q said she was a "persnickety swimmer". I just loved that!

I feel like I can get one part of the stroke down, like when we're doing one-armed drills or just kicking. But when I try to put it all together...sloooowww down! Does that make me persnickety too? Or just uncoordinated? I like persnickety! My word for the day. (Thanks, Suzie Q!)
