Dude. Dude. I got a new belt the week before last when I was shopping for piratey clothes for PotC, and I just barely could cinch it to the second notch. Now, two weeks later, I’m cinching it to the third no problem. TWO WEEKS. And I got a new pair of pants at the beginning of the summer, and now they swim on me. They were meant to be a bit loose, but now I can pull them off without unbuttoning them. I bought a pair one size down the same day as the belt, and they seemed a bit tight at first, but now they fit perfectly.

I feel fantastic about myself, and I’m even eating what I want! I’ve more-or-less eliminated pasta from my diet, but I find I don’t miss it terribly. I’ve cut down on portion sizes, but I still feel full. The places I’ve been going for lunch with the ReelFX guys haven’t really offered much in the way of healthy dining, and while I’ve been trying to make good choices, I don’t really have much to work with. But I’m still losing inches and look and feel great. My thighs have visibly slimmed down. I’m definitely continuing this exercise routine when I get back to school! An hour and a half four days a week is easily worth feeling this great.
