Mini celebration for me. I just wanted to say that I had to go buy some new jeans yesterday. That's right. For the first time in over 8 years, I've shrunk... and by quite a lot. Since I began BJJ, I've lost 20 lbs and 4 inches on my waist. My waist size is where it was 8 years ago when I quit smoking (32 inches) and this marks the first time I'm actually below 200 lbs since then, too (I'm at about 195 lbs... or ~88.5 kg for you European types). I'd like to lose another 10-15 lbs and get back down to 185 lbs. If I get there, I expect I'll have lost another inch or two from my waist as well.
Thanks, guys. I'm quite a bit more muscular than I was 8 years ago. I like how how at 195, I'm as thin as I used to be at 185 lbs once upon a time.
