Default I think I'm stronger!

I haven't started exercising yet, and I lead a fairly sedentary lifestyle, but I think I may be getting physically stronger.

The other day I was cleaning the garage. We have an empty 110 gallon aquarium and wood stand out there, and it needed to be moved. It took me a while and a couple of tries, but I scooted it back two feet! I am guessing that together, the tank and stand weigh about 275 pounds.

That may not sound like much to some of you (especially you men, and/or those who have been lifting weights), but the only thing that keeps me from being a 98-pound weakling is the fact that I weigh 165 pounds.

Anyone else found this to be true?
