Recently I posted about not seeing any progress on the scale, despite clothing fitting better, feeling a lot more in shape, etc.
As it turns out, I spoke too soon! Got on the scale two days ago, and I'm down seven pounds from my "high water mark" at the gym. I know you shouldn't torture yourself on the scale every day, but it is interesting to note that the same weight persisted over two days -- in the evening, no less.
So, seven pounds in ~2 months. I can handle that. I don't necessarily expect it to continue at that pace, but it was some nice validation. Another 20-25 to go, and I think I'll be pretty happy.
In other news, I'm thinking about trying to sketch out some ideas for the tattoo, I've got some thoughts, I will see if I can translate them to paper. Obviously I will let a tattoo artist come up with something better, but perhaps drawing them will also help get me out of the knot I'm trying to unravel as to the finer details of the piece. If I come up with anything interesting, perhaps I will post them here.

Hooray!! At the end of the day, feeling better / having more energy is what's important... but dammit if it doesn't feel great to see those lbs go away, too. :) Nice work! -Alice
