man, i'm starting to notice the difference big time. my jeans don't fit me anymore and it looks like i'm gonna have to buy some new belts since i'm down to the tightest notch....

damnit, i just bought some expensive, perfectly fitting clothes just a couple months ago!!

anyways, other than that minor observation, i'm noticing a big difference in basketball.

guys that i used to push around with ease are all of a sudden knocking the shit out of me. the other day i took a charge on this one dude and i went absolutely flying backwards. and then today i got bumped on a layup and once again i went flying the other way.

ah well. i might miss being the guy that could throw his weight around but its definitely cool being able to keep up with the quickest guys on the court.
