I have fat that just kind of hangs off.. "bat wings" of a fluffier sort. But I was flexing them the other day (something I have taken to doing since I started lifting weights and working out) I notice a strange curve near my elbow. I have lost weight and have been slimming down.. but what is that? Why.. it's a slight curve of visible muscle! Holy moly.. I have muscle under there?!?! Now my husband started a week after me in weight lifting and his arms are looking goooooooood (yum yum) but I'm very happy to see some progress on my end too :)

    Awesome! That's a great feeling isn't it? I remember when I first saw that I had a wrist bone, I was giddy with excitement - well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I sure was happy!
