on jogging and my arse
okay, the jogging has been kept up with. Approx 4 miles, 6 days a week - I think I've been at it for three weeks now?
But anyway. Had been getting a little frustrated that there appeared to be utterly no change whatsoever aside from stamina - body appeared exactly the same, weight I didn't expect to change, since I've been between 10 and 10 and a half stone since I hit puberty at the age of 10 - all that changes is muscle to fat ratio and shape. And considering I went through another minor body-shift a month or so back - going down to a size 10 on top and thus getting all new bras - I guess I'd been hoping for a bit of a change. But no, hips, thighs and stomach looked identical, arse looked identical.
That's what I thought. Today, turned round in mirror, arse looked the same as ever. And then I clenched it. Normally? You can see the distinct difference between the muscle and flab and it looks bloody weird, like two separate entities of play-do. Today? Still a lot of cellulite and obviously not well-toned, but now there's no distinction between the muscle and fat bits, which means that there is toning going on at *some* level.
Yay, in a slightly weirded out way.
ETA, post-pubmeet (plus the fact that I've been wearing a skirt that's the length of a very short thing), have had several people point out legs and arse are looking a lot more toned. To quote Jackie, I lost the chicken thighs.
