So I'm thinking I'll do weekly progress reports from here on in. I feel like I'm back in Middle School. I wonder if I need to get my Mom to initial these. I'll be doing other posts along the way (hopefully) but the weekly report is a given.
Anyways, so I took some additional photos of myself with my point and shoot camera instead of the iPhone, and used the self timer so I'm not one of those people who takes pictures of themselves in the mirror. I didn't realize that the iPhone had such a wide angle lens I really needed to stand back a lot farther to get everything in the picture with the Canon. Anyways...
The first picture is not bad, nothing special, I still look like I have twigs for arms, and what is up with my lopsided pecs? I never noticed that before, I wonder if I just stand funny. The second picture is not bad, but who doesn't look good flexing? I used to take progress pictures years ago when I had the Total Gym. I would do it monthly, but month after month I didn't really notice much difference. There's only so much you can do with a total gym and the thing was a pain to set-up and put away (sorry Chuck Norris).
I've been amping it up at the gym lately since I haven't been feeling sore after my workouts, and now I'm feeling sore again which is good. In the past I never really pushed myself, I just went to the gym and went through the motions. I didn't like to work very hard at it, and while it was better than nothing, what was the point? So I'm making a conscious decision to push harder.
In the meantime, even though my weight has gone up my pants are getting looser. Not sure how I feel about that really. I already wear a 28 waist, and I don't feel like shopping in the kids department again... although prices are cheaper there. I think that vanity sizing exists in men clothes too, because even when I weighed 126 pounds I wore a 30 waist at Old Navy (30 Long by the way, I don't know what I was thinking) now at 138 I wear a loose 28, hmm...
Catch you later!
