Day#271: Who wore it better?

So just this last Friday; Because I was at the dregs of my clothing (I need to do laundry again), I dug out a few things I haven't worn in a while... I mean awhile!!! Try April 2014 - that's the last documented sighting of the blue cardigan... now finally making an appearance again 2 years later.

Here it is in it's former Glory... and now last Friday!



I put it on and couldn't be more pleased! I don't remember if it fit this good even when I bought it originally! WHAT? The things that happen when you keep clothes past not being able to wear them to now fitting in them once more. This... This is the kind of thing that happens! haha!

Who'd have thunk it? Not me! Yay!

Also, Working out at the Gym on Friday?! Who does that? - Me. I made up the session I missed on Tuesday from being sick. I'm so glad I did. When I work out I feel so much better about myself.

Trainer Update:

Tyler has gone. I do miss him, however Thomas is excellent too! He has a very different style. Still intense, but more focused. Tyler made sure everything was new and exciting and that was great. Thomas on the other hand is focusing on seeing where i'm at and really driving home good form and consistency in mastering certain exercises and improving on certain movements.

It's a different kind of training and I think I'm fine with that. I'm more optimistic about things now that I've worked with him now for nearly a month and gotten used to his more quiet personality. I like him and am excited to see how things progress.

Things I'm super pleased with:

1. My arms are looking good, I'm really feeling a difference there and since it's a slow moving goal, I'm pleased with where I'm at.

2. My Legs! I wore my boots on Friday and noticed that they don't fit snug like they used to... Now there's all this space! Lean and Toned, that's what my legs are. They were always my favorite feature about myself, and it's only grown to be more so as I've been progressing on my fitness journey.



It's like those weight loss pant pictures, but for my legs HAHA! look 3 whole fingers width.

3. Form and Breathing. Because of my diabetes I've noticed a lot of things change how I feel while working out. Form and breathing are the main ones. If I have poor posture my back, knees and hips will hate me, but If I pay attention to doing things a bit slower and more concentrated on proper posture I can do more and with less pain. Breathing, Yes there's technique with breathing ;) who knew? I've really focused on being conscious of my breathing technique while working out. This has been a huge deal because if I don't breath properly my head swims and I get dizzy or I get instant headaches. So learning when to breath to support correct blood flow has made a big difference. I'm proud of my progress there... You know you breath good when you're trainer says he's impressed with it right?!

Nothing else to report! Thanks for all the love!
