Hey, Fuzzy! Hope you're doing well. When I worked LTC, I noticed that my pants got looser around the waist, although I gained five pounds. Since I started working at the hospital, a lot of factors have changed in my life and I've had to lose almost fifteen pounds, and I've found my abs again. Luckily, once I unearthed them, they were rock hard and I think it's from all the bending and lifting at my old facility. I have one of the strongest backs on my unit and I think it's because of those abs that developed at LTC. So, definitely not a weird question!

Weird question, I know. But since becoming a CNA I've definitely developed arm and shoulder muscles. My stomach seems bigger too, underneath the little bit of chub I have. I wonder if that means I've built muscle there or if I just need to lay off the chocolate (ok I know I need to lay off the chocolate anyway
). I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a similar change. I do use my abs a lot when lifting because I know that's supposed to help support your back but maybe I've been doing it wrong.
