The Gas Station With the Skinny Mirror

Oh yeah girls, you know what I'm talking about -- there are fat mirrors and then there are skinny mirrors. At the local weight club, the mirrored walls contain both kinds. I'll be working out and feeling great when I look into the skinny mirror. Then I'll walk around the corner to come face-to face with a fat mirror. Suddenly the elation dissipates...heh-heh!

The best skinny mirror in the world is at a gas station at the east end of Bellevue. Every time I need to stop and fill up my water bottles there, I get a thrill of excitement looking at a skinny-mirror me! Hahahahaah! Today was one such day. Reflections are jarringly stretched out -- my image reminded of the actors in the old VHS movies my parents have. The quality was so poor on those recorded tapes that all the people looked 9 feet tall with skinny heads. LOL!

Today was the first time I wore my heart rate monitor -- I figure I better get one ride in at least before IMC since I am going to use it. Hee-hee! After two cups of coffee, my heart rate was still at 66 -- I'm thinking this is a big improvement? Frig, if I didn't have that coffee, I might not have had a beating heart at all!! LOL!!

The taper monster and me have finally made friends -- dare I say I am actually starting to feel...rested?

If you find a mirror that makes you look fat, steal it and sell it to a fun house for big bucks!

YOu're leading us all Jenna, I fell for your bluff in GWN, now I def. need to get on your toes and stay where I belong, ha ha.

Is there some way of incorporating that skinny mirror with the race pics??? You know how the camera adds pounds.
