I had a truly Brigitte Jones moment at the gymnasty yesterday.
Just before my workout, I stepped on the scale for the first time in about a month and found myself weighing 219.5 pounds.
I could not believe my eyes.
I have been working out nearly every day since March as well as watching my diet and I have lost .5 pounds.
Half a friggin' pound.
Everyone finds this incredibly hard to believe -- even Scott who has been with me through the entire exercise. I have lost inches around my waist and hips -- that is a fact. I have even lost a little, just a little boob weight.
And yet, the scale doesn't lie.
How is this possible?
Indeed, my pants are no looser, in fact, truth be told, they are actually a bit tighter. I no longer have a muffin top; it's more like a fallen souffle where certain bits are quite a bit smaller.
And it is true, the muscle I've been building weighs more than the gelatinous, pock-marked goo that used to be there.
Nope. It's not fat that is the problem.
The culprit is my butt.
I have developed a skater's butt.
A bubble butt.
I've never had a butt, not really. Alas, the flat butt runs in the family. My mother had such a flat butt, you could iron a week's laundry on it.
I seem to have followed in that unfortunate gene pool.
Flat ass. I could have been a Dick Tracy character.
Not anymore.
I now have a bubble butt that you could serve morning pancakes on. It's firm and toit as a toiga.
But damned, girl.
Is it made of stone?
It's why my big lady pants are a bit too tight. At least that's my story today.
I guess I'll take it.
Better a souffle than a muffin.
Same calories but much nicer consistency.
Cheese is always better than bran.
Update: Today (that's June 28th, 2013), I found these exercises to help us girls with badonkas get a "Brazilian" butt. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/06/27/butt-exercises_n_3511886.html?utm_hp_ref=canada-living. Try it and let me know if it works.
You look great, keep doing what you are doing!
