Cursed

I have come to terms with the sad fact that I will always have large legs. This whole large leg thing started when I was a child and did gymnastics. I was the kid who couldn't do a push-up but could bruise another person with a swift kick. When I was in Mrs. Sullivan's dance classes I was not the graceful girl doing plies and arabesques- I was the kid who they were worried would hurt herself because dancers legs these are not. I couldn't tap (no really, Corey. I couldn't...) because there is just far too much muscle to be a tap-tap-tapping.

To dissect the leg further, I have decided I really only hate the very upper portion of my thighs. I run, I kickbox, I lunge, squat with weights, squat without weights, do that yes-yes-no-no machine (that used to face the window randomly at the Packer Hall gym- Why would they do that? Fools...) I even walk at a 15 incline for over an hour and I wind up with no leg soreness or reduction in size. I have big legs.
Last Spring at my gym a few gym friends who saw me there all the day would ask me to join their softball teams. Initially, this made me laugh because I am horrendous at softball and these people really don't want me on their teams. I assumed it was because I would wear RP Softball shirts that I bought to help raise money for Sara's team. Then there was an incident this summer on my month-long European adventure. Kristen and I were killing time chatting on a random Eurail train and she said to me "Joy, you've always had a softball players body." A softball players bodice? What does that mean? Do softball players have big shoulders that don't fit in prom dresses? Do softball players have no hips? No- softball players have muscular legs.

I have never played softball. I can't play softball because I catch and throw the same hand. (Which could be another installment of "Is it bad?") How did my body morph into that of an athlete of a sport I am wicked retaaaded at? It might be from all the lunges, squats, incline walks and jogs, and yes, the yes-yes-no-no machine. Maybe I should stop the gym insanity and let it ride. Maybe I could look like Heidi Klum? I wonder what sport did that to her body?

PL Update-
I seem to be "Bouncer Bait" lately too because all the Bouncers of Bergen County seem to be hitting up my cellie 5000. At least we are over the mail man stage!
