motivation

For some Saturday fun, we decided to take the girls to the brand-spanking new indoor pool at a nearby high school. I reluctantly donned my swimsuit for the first time in months, and had just decided to set aside my insecurities and have a good time when Ella and Lauren walked into the room.

"WOW," Ella said. "Your swimsuit looks great."
"Really great, Mom!" Lauren said, then added, "But it looks like maybe it's hurting you a little bit on your legs and your armpits." She winced a little out of sympathy. "And you sure have really big leg muscles, Mom." She poked at my thigh with one finger. "Hmm. I almost think it's like a rhinoceros."
