One month ...

... into my gym routine, and so far:

1. I fit into a pair of jeans I had tailored to fit in May 2007. In the past year, I was able to squeeze into them exactly once -- the weekend after I bought them.

2. I've gone down a pants size at the Gap. I've worn the same size there for about four years, so I ducked in to grab a new pair of jeans this week without trying them on. Problem was, an hour into my workday Monday, I realized they were a whole size too big and had to go back and exchange them!

Technically, fitness success is measured by how you feel physically -- but I sure like how it feels to drop a size!
