#nsv my watch fits me and doesn’t pinch my skin when I take out an extra link!!! :) yay #weightloss (Taken with Instagram)
But I noticed about a week ago that I could feel my ribs! NSV FTW! I don’t think I can remember a time when I could feel my ribs.
Not all the way down, but enough that I felt myself working really hard. I am so proud of myself. I have only ever been able to do about 3 or 4 of them before!
Guess I am getting stronger!
Mark and me at the top of our hike today.
NSV: we did this hike one year ago and I couldn’t make it up to the top. We had to turn around. Today I made it, and it was fairly easy. :)
Best compliment my room mate poodragon gave me. Yesterday we were doing dips and he told me he could actually see my triceps!!! FUCK YES!
NSV: I can actually see my collar bones when I’m relaxing now! Before I could only see them when I was doing things with my arms. And 6 years ago I couldn’t see them at all!
I went to the gym yesterday for back day. And decided that I wanted to try the weight machines that I haven’t used in months to see how much more I could lift now (basically a test if I actually am stronger or not).
On the leg extension machine. My max was 70lbs in July 2011. I did 135lbs yesterday.
On the chest press machine. My max was 25lbs July 2011. I did 75lbs yesterday (which is my max REAL bench press at the moment).
Woot! Getting stronger!
I BENCH PRESSED 60LBS TODAY! REACHED MY GOAL AND WAS INJURED ALMOST ALL MONTH. FUCK YES!
NSV: Size 14 pants! :D
