yesterday, while I was walking the dog, I happened to walk by an empty storefront window. I saw something moving in my reflection, but when I looked again, I realized it was the shape of the muscle in my calf (and it was so muscular that I couldn't believe it belonged to me!) I mean, more than just being smaller now, I could actually see the muscle extending with each step I was taking. I couldn't help but smile because in that moment I felt that all the hard work I put in these past couple of months helped to create that. I felt very proud.
