You are a riot, Mimi! Where do you *find* this stuff?! I’m betting that, in reality, girlfriend can ROCK a plank… 🙂
You should see me rock a plank…until I fall over…walking into the gym as I write this…look out you little spandex’ed wonders, I am entering the building!
I’m with Lori. You most certainly look like the former photo whilst in plank. I do not believe for one second that you don’t breathe your way through struggle and keep a calm, serene shell.
Hmmm..you very wonderful friends..I wonder then why I think the entire gym floor shakes when I collapse?? 🙂 Ok, it doesn’t really..
But there is no way, I look like the top picture either – you just have to trust me on this..
The sad thing about the bottom photo is she remembers when she looked more like the top one…in reality, she’s still a magnificent creature…but she can’t see it and the world doesn’t say it.
I’m with your very smart friends Lori and Carrie. And if I looked like number one I wouldn’t have time to spend with my beautiful friends here ’cause I’d have to plank my butt all the time to stay that way. I’m too lazy for that. I’m better at being a good ol’ piece of worn barn board…full of character and can sometimes add value (if used the right way).
Aw come on….I wanna be repurposful (another new word, love it) when I’m old and weathered and gray. Don’t wanna be no stinkin’ plank! haha
We need to create a dictionary of new words, cause you come up with some of the best…You’re just not reeady to be repurposed yet kiddo – sorry, you’re too much of a hot mama (and I’m not talkin’ menopause here)..
lol. ever thought of going into motivational speaking Mim? you are a natural! thanks for the Friday the 13th smiles. 😆
Actually?? Part of what I did in my former life…love you Rhonda woman – have a great day!! I am off to the shower because after the gym, I am truly offending myself..
I just got back in from a run and read your post…and it’s a good thing I had put my coffee down first. Hilarious and great way to start the day…thank! Plank on 🙂

Waiting for the Karma Truck

Brilliant. 😀
Thanks!!
The pictures are the best. Thanks for the great start to Friday. Sure to keep me chuckling all day. PS I thought a plank was a piece of wood, anyway 🙂
You don’t need to think of a plank as anything else honey – you’re slim and trim and bee-yoo-tee-ful…
Very funny. I only see the girl on top when I look at you though.
Awww. 🙂
He was saying that for points..I wrote him afterwards and said ‘you said that for the ‘aw’ points you’re gonna get’ – and see?? I was right! 🙂
Wow…that was good my love…really smoooooooth…I love you, but puleeeze…xox

Whatever you say Mighty Mimi. Whatever you say…
Go get ’em Tiger!

She certainly doesn’t see herself as magnificent – but she loves her friends with the enormity of an elephant…

You must have arrived after me! 🙂
I may have felt like this at the gym this morning, but certainly did NOT look like this…what’s up?
That’s not even funny! ….. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Awesome!!
And for me, so accurate…
Yeah, but the plank in the second photo burns more calories.
Lol!
He he 🙂
I liked both parts of this post a LOT! Thank you for the LOL post, Mimi!
