seeing some improvement . . .

Today I wore my Forever21 size M shorts to meet my friend for lunch . . . .  I need to take more pics!  Anyway, I purchased these shorts in May this year -- and debated whether to order a S or M -- checking the chart size, it seems I'd do OK in a M based on  my larger-than normal hips, plus w/ a 27" waist I thought I'd better be on the safe side and go for the M.  Well, I ordered them, had them sent to my in-law's house ('cos we live overseas), my MIL sent them to me here in Korea, and when we got the box I tore into it to try everything on.  The M shorts fit quite well, and I was pleased . . . . 

Fast forward to the end of August, when we returned from our US vacation and we decided that enough was enough and said it was time to get serious:  we ordered our elliptical trainer.  I've been faithfully working out for the last seven weeks, and already can see improvement!!  Most notably, when I sit down wearing a short skirt or shorts there's much less ripply dimples of cellulite -- I used to have them along the side of my thighs when sitting and squishing my legs a certain way.  Now, there is still some chub but MUCH less . . .  I can't believe it, if I knew it'd only take two months to show A LITTLE improvement we'd have bought the darn elliptical YEARS ago!!

AND -- the size M shorts?  Well, I can slip them on and off w/o having to unbutton them -- that's how loose they are now!!   I know, sort of pathetic to be so excited like this, but it's amazing to actually see w/ my own eyes the result of seven weeks of working out!!!  Yaayyyyy!!!
