By the way... Built... your pics are amazing.

Thank you sweetie! Yours too!

My husband is a GREAT photographer - he really makes me look good. I am SO keeping him.

Am I the only one that doesn't like veins stikin' out? On my arms when I'm working out hard I can see the veins pushing out against my skin and I'm grossed out by it. I have very pale skin so I can see my veins very well, but pressing against the skin just doesn't do it for me. I love losing weight but don't want bulging veins if I can help it. But if being strong and healthy comes with big veins so be it
