Default I feel fabulous...do you?

So I'm getting over a really bad 6-month period. I went from being in the best shape of my life, to getting back on track to chubbiness and gaining 10 lb.
Two weeks ago I started going to the gym.
Last week I started NROL4W.
Today I fit back into a pair of jeans I had to stop wearing. They're still snug, but they're totally wearable, and I've missed them.
Also, I found out I'm getting an unexpected $200 tax rebate. That's all going into a clothes, makeup, shoes shopping spree once I get done with stage 1. I've wanted to reward myself, but I couldn't figure out where the reward money would come from.

I love this program, and everything seems to be working out for me.

Anyone else have happy stories to share?

I don't have any great success story to share yet but since starting NROL* I have had a huge increase in my confidence and posture. I can't wait to see where I am 6 months from now.

I don't have any great stories, but I do feel great. I feel stronger for sure. I feel a stronger and better posture which has helped my back a lot. My weights are going up steadily with each workout. I was way stronger when we worked out in the garden this weekend. I feel great in general.

I feel great, I can tell my bf% is decreasing based on my upper body appearance. I have actually gained weight and no change in inches except for my upper thigh which is usually the toughest area for me. But I can see the beginnings of a six pack and I have definition in my shoulder. Would love to see more changes in the legs.

Last night I was having my nails done (I have a friend in beauty school who needed a grade on natural nails). While I had my fingers in the warm soapy bowl, my friend pointed to my arm and said that she could see my muscles through my sweater, a thin sweater, but still. It was pretty exciting for me because I've never had the kind of arms that showed any muscle. It made me want to push myself even more.
