So I’m at Costco loading up the few groceries I bought and next to me are two older Asian gentlemen trying to wrestle a huge boxed item into the trunk. Nope, it’s not going to fit I said to myself. So they wrestle it back onto the flat cart and begin chattering in their native language. It’s obvious they are discussing options.
Looking at the box I realize they’ve purchased a floor safe. I image it’s pretty heavy but I size the dimensions and guess it’ll fit in the back seat. Sure enough they begin to maneuver the flat cart to the side of the car.
They both look to be the same age. One is extremely wiry and the other is heavier and looks more muscular but all he does is hold the flat cart steady while the other tries to wrestle the box into the car. He’s having trouble… Hell, it’s a safe!
I offer to hold the cart steady if they wanted to lift together. Smiles but they don’t take me up on my offer. The little guy tries and fails again and I assure him it’ll fit. So when he tries and seems to get it halfway, I step onto the flat cart and lend a hand.
Alright, now I know I’ve been working out but the box isn’t that heavy because it lifts pretty easily with the two of us. In no time we’ve got the box into the back seat and they’re thanking me with lots of smiles.
What they must think of the American woman!
And on that same note I was at a dinner talking to a woman about how often I work out. I was wearing a sleeveless top and leaning on an arm and she turns to me and says, “Wow, you are cut! We’ve got Linda Hamilton here.” I was stunned and pleased and looked down and sure enough. I had just the littlest hint of definition from my triceps.
And it answered a question I had for Cat… how long does it take to develop a noticeable change in muscle definition. Apparently a month or two of hard work.
