Corkey, Kelt and Rockin' and Pinkie Thank you for your suggestions and comments. I am not trying to bulk up at all. I was just worried that I was pushing too much weight and the result would be bigger muscles. I am going for lean. I have had big thighs long enough !! I have to play it by ear. I will do as you suggested Kelt, and measure them after working with X weight, tracking the changes.

I think it is the farm girl in me still coming out... trying be be all strong and what not!! I love my strong legs but I don't want big legs. I have noticed a huge change in their shape. I am losing weight where I thought would be the LAST place I would lose inches. I can only attribute it to the kinds of things I am doing in my workout.

I am loving my workout routine. I am enjoying my strength and endurance. And slowly but surely I am seeing a difference in my body shape. I don't know what my end goal will be. I guess one day I will look in the mirror and say..ok 10 more and I am done. I am a ways from there... but I am in no rush. I am exceptionally lucky to have the health that I do and a body that cooperates with me.

Thank you again for supporting me.
