Accepting the Sweat!

I guess before now I really never knew what a real work out was, because I now sweat like a beast! I know it is gross and I was feeling very insecure about it at first. I looked like I had taken a shower when I got done working out! WE as women, have been brought up as thinking that we really don't sweat we prespire whatever the hell that means! When I get done with a run and I can squeeze the sweat out of my hair....I know I have worked hard! I am starting to embrace my sweat as a physical representation of the weight that I am losing, and the hard work I have put in! I picture myself on one of those Gatorade commercials and I try to decide what color I think my sweat would look cool in. Strange maybe, but it makes me relate to the hard work those Athletes put in, and I realize that I am now considering myself as an athlete! Who would have thought this about six months ago! I love it! I feel strong, I work hard, and with that I sweat hard!
