1. My muscly legs. Having come to terms with the fact my legs will always be bulky, I've come to love the muscle definition I easily get when I train. Maybe not the most feminine of looks (traditionally speaking) but they keep me running!
2. My skin. Since being on Roaccutane and focusing on my eating to lose weight, my skin is looking better than it has in years!
3. My general shape. Once I lose the last few pounds, I'll have a nice (if a bit wide, damn those hips) hourglass figure going on.
Over to you!
Can I say that I'm sooooo envious of your #3? LOL. I would give my left arm (seriously) to have an hourglass shape. But I am a ruler. My husband is quick to point out that most models and some actresses are rulers too - i.e.: Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow. So that has made me accept myself a little more, I guess.
Anyway, if I had to name three things:
1. My chest. For a woman on the cusp of 40 (this November!), my breasts are full and sit nicely on my chest wall. I also like the size - 33C. Enough said there, lol.
2. My abs. Considering I've given birth twice, I thought I'd never see my tummy flat again let alone toned with nice definition. Running has helped me to shed the loose skin from the pregnancies and eating cleanly too.
3. My skin. Since cutting sugar out, my skin which was always pretty decent (except for that time of the month) has gotten much smoother and clearer, if possible. In fact, people say to me all the time that I have a "young face" and can't believe how old I am.
P.S. I'm still jealous of your hourglass. :P
