At least one facet of my new life is progressing nicely. My workouts appear to be doing some good!

Stats for today: current weight is 162 lbs., distance i can run around the track without walking is 1.2 miles, distance out of 2.5 miles i ran is 1.7 miles.

Number of girls who made eye contact and smiled? Five.

That may not seem like a lot, but to a former fat kid like me... it's pretty cool!

Saturday evening, i went out with a friend after the play and ended up at a club. Someone was there who i'd met last May, but she had only seen me recently in shorts and a t-shirt... Saturday, i was dressed very nicely in a pinstriped shirt, dark jeans, and black shoes.

She looked at me, looked away, and then looked again with her hand over her eyes like she was trying to get a better look.

Eventually, we spent a bit of time together that evening, and she couldn't get over how great i'm looking these days... and was going to tell all of her friends/coworkers who know of me as well.

Gave me a nice warm fuzzy, that's for sure!

So, why haven't i asked her out? I have my reasons. Let's just say, i'm not dating right now... i'm still becoming acquainted with this new confident and playful self.

Soon, though... soon.
