Muscles Starting to Appear!

I feel so fantastic. Over these past few weeks since I upped my calories and started lifting, muscles have been emerging! I know it isn't anything AMAZING (well, it's amazing to me!) but I've never EVER had my stomach this flat.
I can see muscles in my legs too! I swam for 6 years, played soccer for 12, and danced for 15. I've never seen my muscles look like this before.
It may be small, and I wish I had a picture to show the progress from a few weeks ago... but seriously. This is amazing to me.
So, including my last post with my update:
SCORE
EMTWL: 2!
Starving: 0!

Thank you :blushing:
I hope you're enjoying the journey so far! I had trouble the first few days, but now I can't imagine how I lived before!!
I mean, aside from upping the calories, I tend to work out a decent amount. I've been doing 30 day shred for the month of may (ranging from 5 lb weights to 15 lb). I've also done other Jillian dvds: my two most frequent dvds being shred-it with weights [kettlebells] and 6 week 6 pack. I also try to run whenever I can, though recently weather/ knees haven't been allowing me to run as much. I swim once a week with my fiance who swam competitively so he's been helping me out there.
Finally, I picked up NROLFW. I love it. Grant it, I have to modify some of the moves because of the lack of equipment (still waiting for my gym card) but I feel so much stronger now after two weeks. 0 -
