Hi!!! So I have a quick little story.

Our office at work is moving and a couple of the guys at the new place were down yesterday helping us move m=boxes of files. The asked one of the guys at our office to help - who refused because he is not transferring. I volunteered to help. They said "but you might get sweaty!" GASP!!! SHUDDER!! not sweaty?!?! The horrors. So I told them I didn't mind and would help. So I started picking up the boxes in stacks of twos (be done 2x as fast as 1 at a time) but the guys were only moving 1 at a time. So I here the "in charge" one say to the other that they needed to start moving 2 at a time because I was "showing them up". Heck, I could've lifted 3 if my arms were long enough!! Thanks for the functionality, Cathe!!!!

I have noticed that I am also quite stronger than I used to be and in comparison to some males in similar situations to yours. However, my husband laughs at me every time I help him lift our canoe up and over our heads onto the roof of the car. I still have to grunt and groan and feel like I'm twisting myself into a pretzel to get my side done, while my husband just calmly picks his side right up! He doesn't work out AT ALL. He's just a man. Of course he always has some snide (but in good fun) comment about all the money spent on Cathe DVDs! I don't suppose the next series could contain canoe-lifting specific excercises? Just kidding...
 
Way to go Nan!!!! What a great story! With them moving only one box to your two, it sounds as if THEY were the ones afraid of getting sweaty ;-) Keep up the great work :)
