Default First NSV

OK so I finally have my first NSV since I joined the gym, and let me tell you I am on cloud 9!! When I got into the gym this afternoon my trainer and I were talking and I asked him if he'd go ahead and do just a couple of measurements because I haven't had any positive results on the scale and was feeling a little down. He agreed to do 2 places. He said that since I've only been on this exercise routine for 2 weeks (been going to the gym for about a month, and he did my initial measurements about 3 weeks ago) that he wasn't going to do all of my measurements again yet. Sooo..we go upstairs and he did my bicep and calf. I have gained 1/2 of an inch in my bicep and 1 1/2 inches in my calf!!! Neither one of us could believe it, he said that was really good! Then when I stopped at the store I ran into a lady I know but only see every now and again and she said "wow honey you look like you've lost weight. You look really good." I got home and decided to try on a pair of pants that have been in my closet forever cause I couldn't get them up over my hips, and guess what I got them up and buttoned and zipped!! They are still really tight but hey I'm on my way!! I have decided that the scale can go away because it shows a weight gain and I'm obviously getting smaller so I'm just going to ignore the scale from now on! I feel soooo good!!
