NSV (I Guess) - - and Threat to Measuring Device
So, not long ago I was in 42 waist jeans. Got to the 40's about the time of surgery and for the past several weeks have been wearing my "skinny jeans" which are 38's. I was at Costco an hour ago buying some protein shakes and saw that they had jeans for $13.99. Since everyone on this board says not to spend much money on clothes during the first six months or so, and since I'm naturally cheap anyway, I thought it might be a good opportunity to pick up a pair of 36's for some future date. Brought them back to my hotel (on a business trip at the moment) and decided to try them on.
They fit. I'm wearing them now. I think I'll go see the new Harry Potter movie tonight in them.
That's all I've got. - Except to say that I think I've lost weight on this trip. For me, it's a lot easier to control my portions when I'm nowhere near a kitchen. I don't go out to restaurants (which used to be the best thing about travelling), and I still seem to be able to get in a 90 minute walk every night. On the beach this week! I'm looking forward to getting home and getting on the scale. If it doesn't show me significantly lower numbers, I will drive over it with my car and show it what "heavy" really means!

Great NSV, congrats!
Room service used to be the best thing about traveling for me. I could order any damn thing I wanted, and scarf it down with no judgmental eyes, except my own of course. I used to peruse menus looking for comfort foods - mashed potatoes, fried things, ice cream, cake, etc etc. No more, thank God!

Hey, if you run over yours, can I send you mine to watch? It's kinda ticking me off ;) Maybe you'll scare it.

A video will do nicely. I'll put it on the big screen and leer at the scale... ;) You won't have to go there. I won't either. It'll move... one way or the other! LOL
