Not much weight loss but…

It’s now been about five and a half months of exercise/improved diet/etc and my weight loss as of this weekend was again about 5 kilograms. The scales don’t tell the full story though. I went to put on a pair of shorts that were a bit tight several months ago and they are now so loose I cannot wear them as they’d surely fall off after a few steps. I think this might be due to stronger abdominal muscles as my tummy isn’t pooching so much as it has (since Game Fanatic was born, I think!).  I can now also fit into a pair of size 14 workout pants that I bought for $5 several months ago when I discovered the discount on the size 16 ones I had purchased.  They are a bit snug but I think they may fit comfortably in another month or two. Meanwhile my original workout pants are starting to look really baggy…they are comfortable but I imagine it won’t be long until they are too loose to keep wearing. Hopefully that will happen before they fall apart due to constant use. I’ve also noticed a few of my shirts are looking really loose now.  The only tightness is around the sleeves but that would be due to the muscle that has built up in my upper arms.

This is what I have to remember when the scales don’t tell me a nice story. :D

    The scales may be reticent in its story telling forays but I can assure you that all your hard work is paying off. This is especially noticeable when I walk behind you. :)
