Ab-ulous

Another edition of Memory Mondays...

I remember the day I discovered my abs.  See, I stand with my hands on my hips a lot, and one day, in this typical pose, I noticed that my stomach was hard.  I immediately became concerned. 

I thought it was a tumor.  I poked around trying to see how big it was. I wondered what I should do. Did I make an appointment with my family doctor first?  In typical Jill fashion, I put it out of mind and decided to think about it later. I thought about it a lot over the next several days, but always fleetingly.

Later that week it came to me while I was in the shower.  This hardness was my ab muscles, finally worked into shape after doing 100 sit ups three days a week for countless weeks. While still hidden under a layer of flab, they were there and they were in shape!  When I realized this I was happy, and ridiculous for thinking they were a tumor.
