I noticed today that I was able to tighten my belt up another notch today. Thing is, my weight has pretty much stabilized. That means the modifications to my diet must be working, as my waist is still shrinking while my weight isn't! (Mostly, I switched to whole grain breads, pasta, etc. and upped my daily intake there a bit, as well as adding more protein to my diet.)
The ol' belly is still a little more jiggly than I'd like, so I really need to settle into some kind of ab-focused exercise routine to tighten that up. I was doing good for a few weeks earlier in the summer, but I kinda fell off from it. Time to hop back on that horse, I suppose.
I'll always be tweaking and paying close attention to what I eat for the rest of my life, but it's nice to know I'm making some of the right decisions and generally steering myself in the right direction.
