Who is that woman reflected in the shiny charcoal of the resting television? All she's got on is a purple sports bra and a pair of leggings--tight leggings at that--and yet her attention's completely focused on the computer on her lap and not the urgent need to pull a t-shirt on--quick, quick!--before anybody notices. In fact, that bra-clad TV lady just went into the kitchen for water and the kitchen in question has a big picture window on one side and twin regular windows on the other that look down on a guy who pretty much always seems to be out there training his dobermans or tinkering with the black muscle car that a nube like me can't identify from above.
Oh. Nope. Now I've done it.
Watch carefully and you'll see the miles-to-go-before-I'm-thin thinking in the frown that eclipses her face. And yup, here comes the long-sleeve t-shirt, and just like that, she's covered again. But believe me when I say that this little bauble's a case of being down but not out because if we steal a peak over her shoulder, we'll see she's writing about how amazed she is that she's reached a place in this fitness journey where every small set back (in this case a return to self consciousness despite being the only human in the living room just now) seems to be paired with an equal and opposite victory (a realization that this stretchy t-shirt stretched over a little too much to wear comfortably a few short months ago).
Chin up, TV lady. The thing about tiny victories is how the way they pile right up.

Hooray for purple sports bras! I bet you looked great. And loose leggings are lame anyway -- nothing worse than a stretched-out pair that bunches pathetically under the bum.
