I. am. finally. starting. to. see. a. difference.

It only took five tortuous weeks, ok not really, but it seemed pretty bad, but I can finally start to notice the tone.  I went for another one of my long and difficult, challenging and motivating workouts with Karen today.

Its funny, while I am there, the exercises take my full concentration and I get really into it and before I know it, the session is over.  I got back from the 02 Max Fitness gym, was about to hop in the shower and realized that I had a small, ever so faint indent on my arm.

At first, I panicked…a bruise? a torn tendon? a heinous and deadly growth of some sort? Then I realized, no it was a…a…muscle…?   To be honest, I have never really had any muscles.  Well, my doctor would say I did, they were just under a squishy and comfortable layer of baby padding.

With Karen’s help, it looks like I actually am going to be ready for the summer season.  Perhaps next week I will be able to see some ‘torn tendons’ in my abs…a six pack would be nice.  Karen is reading this and rolling her eyes, I just know it.  Ok, I will settle for a little more definition in my arms. (and I will stop complaining about the push-ups next time.)

There is still time, start doing the summer challenge with me!
