Starting to get definition, there is a gap between my arms and sides now that I didn't have before. I did notice my hips look really big, but I can guarantee that's all muscle. I always did have legs like a horse.
Here is my "I'm happy with my progress moment" of the day. I wore a tank top to the gym and my pants are fitted and not baggy. I wasn't embarrassed or trying to hide my body at all. It actually felt good to workout in a tank top, my arms felt as if they had a wider range of motion.
Also I was able to increase the weight for all of my chest, back and tricep strength exercises today. That made me do a little dance of joy in my head. I can easily tell that my upper body is getting stronger and that is always a good thing. Here are the numbers for the weight change I was able to log on my fitness report today, I hope my trainer will be pleased with my progress:
Chest Press: started at 15lbs and was able to move up to 20 pounds today. I still struggle with chest exercises but it's getting better day by day.
Pec Deck Flye Machine: started at 30lbs and was able to move up to 45lbs today. This movement machine still feels really unnatural to me, but I do the best I can.
Pull Down (Back strengthener): started at 50lbs and was able to go up to 60lbs today.
Seated Row Machine: started at 30lbs and was able to go up to 35lbs today.
Seated Tricep Press Machine: started at 50lbs and was able to go up to 55lbs today.
**I also did 35 minutes of cardio on the arc trainer on interval program #2 and burnt 400 calories and went 1.46 miles. That's the most I've ever burnt on a cardio machine before in 35 minutes.**
I definitely can say that I am please with my day and now it's time to relax for a bit.
