Today, my pants felt loose so I assumed that I was on hole 2 and not my usual hole 1. I was actually on Hole 1 and needed to move to Hole 0 for my pants to be snug.

Yaaaay! right?


When I weighed myself this morning, I weighed exactly the same as when I started the diet. FML.


I really don't know how to rationalize this. Is the belt stretching? Am I gaining mass? My pants are fitting tighter. I actually cannot wear pants that I wore this time last year. And the new cut of pants that were my current go-to cut (Levis 559) are now fitting like the other pants did last year. So, I'm the "tight pants guy" that comes in to the coffee shop every day :-/
