Perhaps I was a bit too hasty to feel frustrated by my apparent lack of weight loss this past week. One thing I have never really tracked and maybe it is just a “man thing”, is inches. I just wait for weight to come off and I track progress by the pound. There is probably some truth to the idea I’m too lazy to measure myself as well, but I would never admit something like that! *cough*

Anyway, while I was feeling frustrated this morning, I had not yet gotten dressed for work. During the weekend I’m usually wearing loose fitting clothes (T-shirt, etc.) and not aware of my body mass really. When I went to put on my work pants (dress slacks) and belt this morning, I was surprised to find that they were actually loose and my belt had moved to the smallest notch possible. That means I have lost at least 2 inches of waist in the last 2 weeks! It was an awesome feeling as my work clothes have been fitting uncomfortably tight around the waist and to have them feel loose is amazing.

I had been noticing that my gut was un-tucking my shirt less frequently as of late, but I’m happy to report I’m cinched and tucked! No worries!

See, I just need to track my weight loss in pounds AND in inches!
