One of the alumni attending our class reunion in July took lots of pictures. I was happy to see one of my husband and me dancing. (This was the first time I've ever gotten him to dance to anything besides a "slow dance") I thought my arm looked a little unusual. Now I do have lots of loose skin but there was something else...

Lately I've been noticing that I can see veins in my arms and some muscle definition when I flex my hands. I've never had anything like this in my entire life! Now I'm a long way from this picture of an anonymous body builder but I am definitely showing progress from the weight training. Speaking as a nurse who frequently has to access veins where none are apparent (like today for instance) I know the next time I need blood drawn it will be easier than previously.
Don't worry friends and family. I have no intentions of making myself into a steroid-popping exhibitionist. It is just nice to see my hard work pay off.
Love to all,
Marlena of Mohegan
