Some creases are good

This weekend I noticed I have creases. Good creases. Not the bad kind you get because you frown too much or squint your eyes. I noticed the good kind. The ones you get as you start to get definition in muscles you forgot that you had. I found those creases over the past several days. Actually, it started about a week ago. Mace and I were out celebrating his birthday early, when in the middle of the conversation he stops and says, "you have a crease in your arm." I didn't think too much of it as it was my forearm he was talking about. About three days later, after I had changed my profile picture on Facebook, he says, "you look a lot like you used to look in your senior picture in your new profile picture." After re-examining my new profile picture, I can say he is right. I am wearing my hair the way I used to in high school and my face is a little thinner. The big showing of the creases came this past weekend.

We got up at 5:45 am so we could be on the golf course by 6:30. We wanted to get 18 holes in before the weather got too unbearable. The temperature on Saturday was to be in the high 90s low 100s. This is the weekend my son and his girlfriend decided they were moving out of our house and into a townhouse. Jay had to work on Saturday but had Sunday off, so the plan was to move all of the big things on Sunday. Mace and I decided we wanted to get it done, so he, Lexi and I moved ALL of the furniture on Saturday. Mace stood inside the truck and Lexi and I handed things into him: dressers, couches, recliners - you name it. At the townhouse, Mace and Lexi would hand things out to me and Lexi got her exercise in by jumping on and off the lift gate of the truck. We spent 4 hours playing golf and about 4 hours moving furniture. Needless to say, we were tired and sore. That night, I noticed that I have creases in my biceps. I actually have muscles!! It has been forever since I have seen them or used them, but I worked them hard this past weekend. As I continue to workout at the YMCA each day, I work arms and legs. My goal now is to get some creases in the old triceps!
