Ok it was by my kids... One of their new friends said to the girls you're mom looks like I gym *kitten* and I mean that in the nicest of ways (ok I don't know what a gym *kitten* is so???) and then my girls response (they've come to the gym with me the last two days) was she's tough! Jillian Michaels tough. LOL I'm taking that as a NSV> What do y'all think?

    that's awesome. and just think what a good example you are for your kids! Go girl!

    Last week I overheard my 9-yr-old son describing me when someone at VBS pick up time was asking him where his mom was. He said, "there she is over there--the sweaty one". niiiiice.

    I get those responses from a lot of people these days and when I talk to people, they're always saying things like, "oh, well you don't have to worry about it, look at you" I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE GLARES I GET AT THE GYM NOW because I worked DAMN HARD to get this far and I'm not stoppin'!!!!

    I think it's great that your kids recognize you're a rock star (as Jillian says)!

    Haha I love when family members are so blunt about what they think about you going to the gym all the time. Today, it started raining cats and dogs. I had just finished working out and I didn't want to run out to the car in the pouring rain. My brother said, "Dude you're already soaking wet from sweat just go!". I was like "Thanks bro, 'preciate it :)"

    yeah that's an NSV for sure... anyone would want to be likened to Jillian M... hot, buff, strong, fit, successful... what more could you want...

    and i guess gym *kitten* is a whole lot better sounding than couch potato.

    finally my kid told me what a gym *kitten* is.... I'll take that! Really?! Cool a def. NSV... I seem like someone who likes to workout, takes fitness serious, and eats well. Yep! That's me! I resemble that remark and wow.... I resemble that remark..... :)))))
