Oh the Horror!
So, within the past few weeks I have joined a fitness club. It's really close to my home, reasonably priced, and there are no more than 5 people at a class in the circuit. I'm really loving it and it feels good to have blood flowing through my entire body again!! (in a way that I can feel)
Anyway, this morning, I was getting ready to head out and my kids (teenagers) were getting ready to head out to school. My daughter froze for a moment and looked at me in horror. She said, "Mom, you are starting to look like me!" I looked down at what I was wearing - black yoga pants, sweatshirt (from "Pink" her favourite store), and my Ugg (like) boots. (my running shoes were in my bag). Honestly I didn't know if she was going to laugh or cry. Poor kid!
That's all!

LOL; that's cute!
My Mom is having the same crisis, lol. I've been significantly bigger than her for over 30 years and now I can fit into all of her clothes and she's proud of me but not too happy that I'm wearing pajama bottoms that are too tight for her, but now fit me, lol.
