My legs have a ton more muscle, which is awesome, but I still store fat on them just like I always have. I will say, though, that I appreciate and love my body a lot more since I started running, so it's all worth it :) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413371644902006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021624755792684993.post-49376466589967428042013-07-16T13:31:15.980-07:002013-07-16T13:31:15.980-07:00I think they're kind of badass.

I don't mind the thunder thighs (I think I'll always have them, so I've come to accept them!), and I'm happy with the lower body fat... the thing that gets me is the VEINS! On my feet, behind my knees, on my arms and hands - I'm a bit grossed out by them, but I know they mean good things!

I had the same issues with BMI - but it's part of the sport. Those things usually even out. As for boobs, well - I think that's something we just have to accept. I tell people, "I don't like boobs anyway." hahaMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02972592731844244697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021624755792684993.post-38033272342473590672013-07-16T13:05:56.805-07:002013-07-16T13:05:56.805-07:00Haha, love this post!

That's 20-25 lb weight loss relative to my pre-pregnancy weight 7 years ago. Unfortunately, most of it was in the bust. I went from a pre-baby B to a current "is there something smaller than AA?"<br /><br />On the upside, I have LEGS. I peek at them every time I go by a mirror to enjoy the quads, calves, even hamstrings. And back before I broke my elbow and stopped lifting weights, I had pretty rockin shoulders and arms for a while, too.Robynhttp://thesethingshappentootherpeople.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021624755792684993.post-51302800780828942502013-07-16T12:15:02.084-07:002013-07-16T12:15:02.084-07:00I saw your "action" shot of u mowing you...I saw your "action" shot of u mowing your lawn. you are stunning.
