w00t! I have new muscles! I sat up this evening and felt my quadriceps and much to my surprise there were these new bumps and contours that weren't there before :) :). This is the second set of bulges that I have gotten (the first being my calves after what seemed like weeks solid on an elliptical), after weeks of biking.
It does feel like it takes an awfully large amount of work to get these contours -- perhaps being a vegetarian and being bad about downing soy protein shakes makes it tougher... But there is also a certain sense of happiness that comes from *me* *having muscles*! Who would have thought??
