Day 284: The (not so) freaky flappy forearms

It's either feast or famine.

There's either something happening every night, or nothing at all.

I have to admit having nothing going on is kind of nice, until I wind up on the couch eating Hamburger Helper with a cat succling himself on my lap.

Yep... that's my life tonight.

It's actually pretty funny when i think about it looking from the outside in.

Work today was once again exhausting, but there was still time for laughter.

At one point one of the gals who is really close to my age stopped by our department.

She asked when my birthday was, and we started talking about the big 4-0.

Then she said her elbows were getting old and showed me her wrinkly elbows.

Holy crap! I haven't even thought about my elbows! Probably because I can't see them..... much like my butt... so its out of sight out of mind.

And since I don't have to squeeze my wrinkly elbows into a pair of skinny jeans they are pretty much not even a blip on the radar... or should I say they weren't!

She asked to see mine, so I showed her, and her response was all I needed. Sadly I have wrinkly elbows.

I decided since we were baring all of our aging secrets I would show them my freaky flabby forearm.

At first they were just stunned, like deer in the headlights, then everyone jumped on board to see if they also have the freaky floppy forearm.

I have to say much to my surprise quite a few people in the department had a freaky forearm, which made me feel a little better.

There are so many things going on with my body right now I sometimes wonder if I really am in my own body.

Usually I gain weight in my hips, thighs and butt and my stomach stays pretty flat.

Well right now, it seems like all my fat is migrating north to my belly.

Not that I'm complaining about my butt not carrying the load of my candy and potato chip binges, but I am realizing I took my flat tummy for granted and its time to do something about it.

No more lazy girl, its time to get back in shape!
