That's Not Bad (For A Girl)

I happened to be chatting with my ex, just catching up.  He was the kind of guy who was religious about the gym and getting fit.  That was his jam.  I thought, hey, since we don't have much in common any more, maybe I'll mention to him that I'm squatting 120 for five sets of five and keep moving up.  He'll get that.  His response?  "Hey, 120 isn't bad for a girl. :D"

Um, excuse me?  I get that everything is relative, and I was talking to a gymrat, but really?  Not bad for a girl?  I don't even know many guys who hit the barbell like I do.  I'm sure I could kick much ass challenging guys to barbell exercises.  My thighs and glutes are looking amazing, and I feel strong and capable.  And that's not bad for anyone, girl or boy.

As far as weight loss goes, it appears I'm officially out of the easy weight loss... maybe.  All week I barely eeked down the scale, but today I weighed in three pounds less than my Monday weigh-in.  Yay!  I think my body wasn't very happy with me for restricting calories, so after a few days of going over, I wake up with weight loss!  Hopefully with focus and discipline I can have that or better for Monday weigh-in after a weekend of birthday celebrations.  Wish me luck!
