"YOU BEEN WORKING OUT - It was bound to happen - but didn't expect it tonight

WORKING OUT

Tonight I got it. That is, a comment: "you look different -- you been working out."

It came from a neighbor of mine - who is always jovial with a smile on his face and delighted to see me. I just told him, well, I finished my x year of school and now I have a bit more time, so I've been able to work out a bit more. "Well, you look great. Keep up the good work."

Going to C (male friend) next weekend in the homeland (actually cr). So it'll be interesting to see whether he notices. I did notice that my work pants that used to be pretty tight on me were not only loose on me tonight, but also so loose that I didn't need to unbutton them to take them off. And I'll be wearing 38 jeans (that I haven't fit into in a few years) to Iowa. That may be the immediate tip off that I'm lighter than I was (arguably ~40 pounds lighter than when he saw me just 75 days ago unbelievably).

Well, the comment is just what the doctor ordered -- too bad it didn't come from some hot chick!

I'm actually pretty psyched up about tomorrow's tri. I predict good things on the run. Now that I'm lighter -- and given my own race psychology, I should be in for a "special" run. I figure I should be in the 9mpm sort of range.
