It's all about the little things...

As I've lost the weight, I've slowly started to notice little things changing about my body.

First, it was my ankles. I didn't have cankles (kankles? I d'no, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) but my ankles were round. I could feel the bones, but I couldn't see them. Suddenly, one day I looked down and there was a small gap between my sock and my ankle where there was a dip from the tendon on the back of my leg to the bone on the side of my ankle. I was so excited! It may seems sill, being excited about a dip, but that little dip in my ankle drove me on. And I started looking for other things...

I started the C25K running program about 6 weeks ago. While I haven't strictly kept to the program (I got sick and couldn't run for a week. Set me back a bit), it has done wonders for my legs... including a little tendon peaking out from the side of my knee. I noticed it, and got just as excited as I did about that little dip. About a week later I noticed another, albeit shallow, dip running up the side of my thigh. Holy crap, muscle tone!

So the last thing I noticed happened today. I have clavicles! 2 of em! WHO KNEW?! They're not super prominent, but I've never been thin, and I don't remember ever looking in the mirror and being able to see them. It's just a shallow dip just above them, not even enough to make a shadow, but to me, that little dip means everything.
