Take It Down a Notch

I’ve been noticing that my pants are sagging more lately. The pants that were bought to fit when I started working are now a couple of inches too loose in the waste.

Pulling up my pants got to be somewhat annoying this morning, so I decided to tighten my belt. To my pleasant surprise, I have moved to the final notch on my belt.

I’m looking forward to the day when I am forced to go buy a new belt because the one I have is too big. I’ve felt the other side of the needing to buy a new belt equation, and it wasn’t anticipated in nearly the same fashion as this.

There is no question that the physical aspect of my new profession has changed my body composition for the better. It is quite amazing the amount of difference in just a few weeks. I’m still nowhere from being Mr. Universe mind you, but I can definitely notice a strong difference from when I started.

I weighed in at 173 pounds this evening. I’m pretty excited about it as I haven’t seen that number on my scale since I briefly saw it on the way up several years ago. I’m burning off some of my festive plumpness for sure.
