Weights
When I started working out again last fall after not working out for a long time, I was using 8 lbs. as my heavy weight. I’ve worked my way up to 15 lbs. for my heavy weight which I purchased at Walmart today. It made me feel good when the cashier said, “These aren’t for you, are they?” When I told her they were, she said, “You’re kidding!!!” It felt good to impress SOMEONE. 😁

Awesome! I'm impressed! You should've pumped out some curls or something to up the wow factor!

I’m just glad that she didn’t make a crack about the fact that I was also buying the lightweight kitty litter. 😂

Gams, congrats! That is an awesome feeling! I too had to buy heavier weights at Walmart this past year after finally venturing back into strength training.
Funny story...I'm usually embarrassed about it for some reason  and take my husband with me so everyone will just assume it's him buying the weights. But the last time I did this, I bought a set of 25-pound dumbbells, the heaviest I've ever had for myself, and darn it, I felt proud.So when we got up to the line, the cashier made some comment about them being for my husband, and this time, THIS time, I said, "Oh, no, those are for me." Her mouth just opened, but no words came out, and then she got really embarrassed and tried to make some joke about the 2-pound weights she said she used. My husband told me on the way out the door that everyone in line behind us had the same incredulous expressions on their faces, hee hee....and this time, that made my day!
