Had to try some PT. I fear I threw my resistance bands away. Delayed cinching into mesh by an hour to do exercises. 30.0" at 9:30, 158.6lbs.

Removed at 11:00.

I assembled a new lawn mower and then mowed with it in the mesh corset and was suddenly concerned that I’d made the corset smell like rotten grass clippings, so I stopped mowing and showered. The corset had the liner doubled over most of it and I couldn’t detect any grass smell. The rest of the day I could feel how my waist responds differently to my movement. There’s training happening there that just doesn’t get covered by people who tried a corset for a month and consider themselves an expert on Reddit. Wife is eager for me to remove my teal nail polish before her dad gets here for Easter. I’m stalling. I like it. I won’t let him see of course, but if my sister-in-law gets here first, she’ll get to see it before I wipe them clean. I can do it after her dad gets here, if needed.
