A few years ago I went shopping with my mom at her favorite thrift shop. I found a lavender v neck 3/4 length sleeve cable knit cotton sweater from Talbot's.
A lot like this, but with shorter sleeves and a bit lighter. ANYWAY. It's been a mainstay in my fall wardrobe, but this morning I retired it. Not only is it too wide, but the v is now too low. Good-bye sweater - I will miss you.
About last night. I've been using my kettlebell swing workouts as my primary training for both strength and HIIT - and don't get me wrong, it's working like a dream. I can't imagine ever giving up my swing workouts. Again, if you are interested:
But there are more things you can do with a kettlebell (and I know quite a few of them) but there are a couple I wanted to work on - specifically snatches and turkish get ups. And T seemed interested, so last night we went and had a functional movement screening with a kettlebell instructor. He measures your flexibility and balance using a few simple movements. It was pretty interesting but the results were not surprising - I need to work on both, and so does T to a lesser extent.
After that we did a kettlebell assessment and orientation. T had tried them once but honestly it's better if you get some professional instruction if at all possible. He enjoyed it and we opted to sign up for 5 half hour training sessions as a couple. After that we will decide what we want to do - they offer one one one instruction, small group classes, and open gym. I firmly believe this will push me harder to work on my strength training. At home I have moved up to incorporating a 20 pound kettlbell into my swing routines.
Food has been a bit tighter this week and I am seeing the difference. We are going to the beach this weekend, so I will need to stay focused.
Okay, have a good day!

I like some of my clothes so much that even as they get too big, I keep wearing them! I have a V-neck sweater I keep clinging to, but I have also noticed the V getting too deep as I lose weight. I wear a tank top under it and haven't retired it just yet, but its days are numbered!
