Hello Illinois (trying not to sound like Robin Williams here),      Well just a quick update.  Not much is going on.  I have my daughter this weekend, but we are playing with bubbles and being outside.  Man is it nice out.  I got myself another shirt for my new job and again it is a large.  I am liking this where I don't have to look at the X anymore when I am buying cloths.  I was just frustrated when I couldn't FIND a large, but all of my old sizes were available.  It was odd.  I guess I am always in the popular size.  Either that or the grass is greener on the other side! As for my weight, it has leveled off.  I am kind of frustrated with that.  Once the new job starts I will have over 4 miles of walking a day AND I will be joining the gym at work, so I will work on definition as well.  I am actually trying to bulk up in the upper body as well.  I hope that works.  I also will need to get an adjustment soon as well.  I am just eating too much.  It is definately adjustment time. Ok time to go back outside.  Later everyone, and enjoy the warm weather!
Barry

Hi Barry  the trainer in me had to put in that exercise IS KEY.  I have been doing a new routine and lost a pants size with out actually losing any pounds.  the number on the scale isn't as important as the level of fitness, and the lean muscle mass.

Hi Barry. I had a similar experience when I was in Vegas. I wanted to buy a cotton pink flamingo jacket at the Flamingo Hotel. I wanted a size small and all they had on the rack was med, large, and the extra sizes. The sales person was so kind to look in the back and then checked the size on the dummy. I was lucky because the dummy had a size small on it. It's so strange when you can't find the smaller sizes in what you like, but only the larger ones. I was also looking in the store and then another sales lady came up to me and said, you're looking at the wrong sizes... you're too skinny to be shopping here. Well, that comment threw me for a loop! By the way, how did you get out of my closet???? LOL. That's when everyone was wondering where you were, so I took the opportunity to make a joke of it.... You have such a lovely and beautiful daughter. I was happy to meet her and glad that she had a good time. Hope we'll see her at another get together. My weight too had leveled off, especially in the second year. I had to work harder to get a smaller amount of weight off. I lost most of my weight the first year. Now I'm having to lose my regain. I had a band put in on Thursday. So I have learned my lesson and will not do that again. I hope to be back at goal by the winter holidays! Good to see you here on the boards. Hugs, Lucy
