First, logged my 100th workout on the site today!  I am amazed at my strength progress over the last 7 months.  The workout tracker is truly motivating to me because not only can I see progress in the mirror, I can see progress on paper.

Speaking of mirror, someone on this site told me to focus more on the mirror than the scale - and he was right.  Thanks Aaron (A-Train).  My weight loss has all but stopped - just hanging around 222 or so.  Still an accomplishment to be down 44-45 pounds from my start - but not seeing the scale move but seeing my waist measurement continue to come down is serious motivation.

Remember that Thomas Pink shirt I bought in June…  the Slim fit one that I was so excited about?  Well, its close to being too small through the shoulders now as are some of my other shirts.  Let me say that it is a GREAT feeling to grow enough that my shirts are now getting tighter through the shoulders and chest.

I have to get new dress pants and belts - everything is too big.  My 36 jeans are actually a little loose now.

I’ve learned so much about nutrition, lifting, and most importantly myself.  I have a TON more confidence than in the past and am really enjoying life. 

Nevertheless, I just had to note this milestone on my fitness journey.  Its a great moment to note, and a good place to keep progressing!

Stay strong!
