The Sweat Test

When I teach cycle, I encourage my attendees to make their goal to sweat more than I do. I’ve only had one person so far whom I genuinely agreed met that goal. I sweat a lot, so what? I’ve heard that it means I’m really fit because my body is just more efficient at cooling itself. 🙂

Here I am in my cute new workout top before tonight’s class. (If you look closely, you’ll see the little knots I tie on my shirt since otherwise it would dip down to about my belly button, and I try not to rock the J-Lo style at the gym).

Pardon the blurry image – I blame it on taking the picture through the mirror, but really I just didn’t adjust my settings properly since I running late for class.

Here I am in my post-workout glory. I really wish you could see how soaking wet my shirt is. It conveniently  disguises sweat well.

However, my non-waterproof mascara doesn’t disguise anything well, especially itself. I always forget to take it off before I teach and as soon as I see myself in a mirror, I wonder how many people I’ve scared off from attending again.

I was craving roasted sweet potatoes after dinner (which consisted of a giant bowl of greek yogurt with some sunflower seed butter and granola…totally normal dinner, I know). Sweet potatoes on an orange plate? Not very appealing. Maizey doesn’t discriminate though and stuck her head in the picture. The girl has restraint and didn’t even take a lick. Not like her mother. That plate is empty now folks. And I can’t blame it on the boxer dog.

If you’d like to become a sweaty mess, try this playlist for your next cardio workout. Rachel (at Shedding it) and I exchange spin playlists since we both teach so some of these came from her. She posts a lot of playlists too if you ever want more songs.

I’m off to hang with the husband. G’night!
