Hard work pays off: Check out my abdominal muscles
PROUD!
I am little bit proud of myself, with all the weights I’ve been lifting and the cardio I’ve been doing, and it’s beginning to pay off…
Look! A little show of muscle in the abdominal region! See above feature photo.
Can you see? Not quite complete, of course, but a little faint outline of abs, me thinks!
Note to self: do not take pics of stomach in studio when builders are outside….
Shall we see the before and after pics to remind ourselves of six weeks of hard work?
How exciting! And, yes, that is a smug smile on my face!
Even after an abominable eating day on Super Bowl Sunday, things are beginning to shift and move and take shape.
Hurrah!
I shall not reward myself with chocolate, however, but with a protein drink.
Interestingly, my weight is not shifting, but this is not what I’m after. It’s all about training and toning, and that, my friends, is where it’s at 🙂
