An Odd Indicator of Progress
I have an Old Navy shirt that I love, it’s got those seamless shoulders (the seams connect to the neck and run across the clavicle to the armpits) and is made of a very fine, thin cotton (which unfortunately loves to stain easily). Well, in American clothes I usually wear a size Small so that the shoulders of the garment actually fall on my shoulders. The side effect though, as that I have grown in musculature, the shirt has become tighter across the chest and in the arms. In fact, the short sleeves fall right over the center of my bicep. Now, I’m not someone you look at and would think has big muscles, but my arms have now taken up all the slack in the sleeves! At once both satisfying and embarrassing, because I don’t want that shirt to be a ‘muscle’ shirt. I will admit though, that one of the big perks of getting in shape has been the chance to wear form fitting gear and have it look good.
