The battle of the sexes came to an end last night. The battle was hard fought, but came to a close with the men as the victors. [note: slight tinge of pain here for me]
I do have to say I'm quite proud of the output by the ladies. I'll show you the final tallies (Jerry's final numbers, because as my last post proves... I can't add.)

After 5 groups hit this workout, the men finished just slightly ahead of the women with ".6" points. It's a loss that I think I can take, especially considering the caliber of male athletes we were going up against. I think it proves that the women of CFOT are as tough as nails. I'm proud to be one.
This brings up another thought for me. It's something that's been irking me over the week. It was a conversation I had with a family member over the weekend. They mentioned some of the pictures I have up on my Facebook page of me lifting weights. Personally, I love these pictures. I look crazy strong, and my muscles are toned. Basically, I look like a healthy, happy person. I am a healthy, happy person.
Unfortunately, my family member didn't have the same opinion. She wondered if I was concerned that people would think I was weird. Then she went on to joke that I'd soon look like one of those scary body builders.
First off, I'll never look like those female body builders, because they are on steroids and other body enhancing drugs. I don't take them. Never have and never will. Secondly, and more important.. why would people think that being healthy, and happy is weird? If they do, why would I care what they think? I basically responded by telling her that those pictures were reflective of who I am as a person, and that I was damb proud of them. I'm a proud fire breather. If only other women could have a similarly healthy outlook on eating and exercise.
Anyone else hear similar comments from family and friends?
