Half an inch in one and a half weeks

Its amazing that it just keeps going. I am cooking alot more, which is more due to finances than diet. Still, its the start of the semester and things have not yet been hectic. I now have two gym buddies and I am enjoying cooking for friends. It seems things are looking up. I am nearly in my 8s. I can pull them on at least, but still with the "muffin" top, so I have a bit to go.
