This just in - your friendly, neighborhood "pleasantly plump" blogger has knees!

Before I started toning up, my legs were all thigh - a landscape of cottage cheese-like cellulite with dimples that ended down somewhere near my ankles.

However, when I was sitting on the couch this weekend, I noticed my knees had come back! They'd been hidden, you see, under the chub that had taken over the lower part of my legs.

Now, that I'm working toward being toned and buff (Hello, Arnold!), you can now tell that I do, in fact, have knees, and my thighs are shaping up, too.

Do you hear me, dear readers? My legs no longer look like fleshy, brown treetrunks!

This is great news. I need to celebrate. I believe some shoe shopping is in order.
