Well, not like THAT of course! He and I are doing this Bally's Fitness Challenge and, even though we're on the same team, there's a little bit of competition here. He keeps prancing around bragging about his "six-pack-abs" which I actually haven't seen and until I do, I don't believe it. Sometimes our workouts overlap and we wind up doing crunches together. I saw him checking me out (don't deny it Pat!) and I know he wants to win this thing. So the other morning I walked into the sports office and opened up my blazer to show off my shrinking figure. "Ha!" I said to him and walked away. He got the message though. Don't mess with me unless you're willing to go the distance!

Then today I'm wearing a black blouse, black short(er) skirt, and red high heel shoes. He told me I wasn't dressed appropriately for work. He's just jealous! But while we're on the subject of clothes.... I haven't worn this skirt in ages. It is short, mid-thigh, and I haven't felt like my legs have looked good enough to wear it. They're far from perfect but they look better than they have in a long time. So why not show them off right? In a blog last week I wrote that Kay, my trainer, wanted me to try on a pair of pants that I couldn't get into two weeks ago. Well, they fit!!!!! I am amazed that I have lost close to ten pounds in two weeks. Kay at Bally's is truly incredible at training and nutrition. I know I scrunch my nose at her or roll my eyes when she says "One more time." But I am so grateful to have had this opportunity! Ten to twelve more pounds to go.

Pat Tomasulo eat your heart out!
