"Give yourself a big pat on your back"

So I used to hear the phrase "Give yourself a pat on your back" all the time back in elementary school. Today I did this to myself even tho it is so 5th grade. I worked out...again. (I skipped cardio yesterday but did do 100 crunches and some arm strengthing) But today I went to the gym here at our apartment complex. Mind you, it's 90-something degrees outside, the sun was shining...and the biggest kicker of all is that the gym is right next to the pool. So here I am walking to the gym and a guy was coming out of the pool and was holding the gate for me. I had to give the thanks but no thanks cuz I wasn't going to the pool. I started my workout on the bike that faces the pool. So while starting my workout I'm watching people soaking up the sun, splashing and laughing in the pool, just enjoying the weather and here I am sweating my butt off when I could be cool in the pool. (Hey that rhymes). But I was determined and finished my workout. I feel great and I thought I deserved a big pat on my back so I did just that. =)
