This world. This dang world.
I vow myself into a month of mirror-less living and am immediately confronted with all sorts of emotions and temptations and crazy. These things can make a good day feel bad. And then I remember that there is no way to lose, no way to fail and so I buck up and walk forward.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to navigate the gym without looking in the mirror? Mirrors in the locker room and the weight room and the cardio room...they're everywhere. Why are there mirrors all over the gym? In the weight room, sure, I can get that--you need to watch your form. But why in the cardio room? And why is the locker room lined with mirrors? Why?????? Here's my hypothesis: a large percentage of those who frequent the gym, do so for vanity reasons. They are concerned about what they look like (especially in comparison to others) and therefore, the mirrors are meeting that need. No judgement, just a hypothesis.
