A is for Abs

 Every year, like many people, I make a New Year’s resolution to get in shape.  This year I did something a little different. I set myself some goals. This year, I was going to be a little less lumpy by April because I’m going to a bridal shower. I’m not in too bad of a shape all around. I just need mid-section a little less lumpy. I am a woman of a certain age so it’s become a little harder to lose my “blub blub” as Pinky Patel would say. I did what everyone does and looked online to find the easiest and fastest way to get to my goal without putting in any real work.

 

At the beginning of March, I found Chloe Ting. She has these amazing workout videos on YouTube for whatever body part you need reshaped. Was she promising shredded abs in two weeks? No. But she promised her workouts do work and encourages others to try it and post their results. I watched some of the results videos of her followers. I found one that made me a believer. She was a Mid-Western girl that was probably twice my size. She posted her workout for weeks and at the end, I was amazed.

 

I’m only half the size of Mid-West so I don’t have as far to go. I started my two weeks. Every morning at the same time, I set the timer for ten minutes.  By the third day, Siri had picked up I was doing something for ten minutes and offered to set the timer without me asking.

 

Here I am at the end of three months. Am I shredded? No. I’m still just as lumpy. I kind of stopped doing it after a week. It was really hard. Mid-West made it look so easy. But I’m not giving up. I’m gonna get my abs one day.  

 

For now, my new goal is to at least see the tip of my big toe when I look down by May for the wedding.
