Weight loss and wistfulness…..
Suddenly my weight has dropped from 122 to 118.5 - just days after increasing the cardio and making a few small changes to the diet. I didn’t plan on the weight dropping so quickly but wanted to see what would happen so I can plan ahead for my first photoshoot. I don’t want to exagerate but I cant believe how my muscles and striations (had to look that one up in wikipedia) are so defined, mostly in my arms and some in my back….well my back scares me. It feels strange to see myself, I almost don’t believe it is me. Also, well I have this strange thing, maybe some people here can relate to this. I inherited my father’s arms, slender but defined shape and muscle. When I see my arms in the mirror I think of him. He passed away about 10 years ago. It is a kind of nice feeling to see my arms, just remembering years ago how at the kitchen table when we were kids he would bend his arm at the elbow and put his thumb in his mouth and pretend to blow the muscle up, suddenly the bicep would appear incredibly formed and viened even though he never did a thing to work them out!!! We loved it. Feeling wistful right now………and thankful.

Hooray for genetics! You look smashing.! I inherited a huge back and a pot belly from my dad. So I’d say you got the better deal. : )
