Go Chriiiiss Go Chrisss! Shake ya booty..Okay..OkaY!! Not that much!

The wfie and I went out shopping tonight.  Went to the mall and did some walking and stuff. My pedometer reads 15k steps but I don't think it's accurate. There's no way I did that many steps.  Anyways, so I went into burlington coat factory to go pee and I remembered being so upset because they never had any sport jackets that would fit me so I decided to test the camel hairs and tried on a nice 52R (regular) camel hair sport coat and it fit like a glove! OHH WOWW!!  When I last went suit shopping I had to get a custom fit 56B (big). Man I stepped back and looked into the mirror and damn it looked good on me too. (especially with shorts on haha) Anyways, I didn't want to buy it because I want to wait till I get down into the 40's before I start spending that kind of money on clothes.  So later we went to Wally world and I thought I'd test my luck again.  I grabbed a pair of 42x30 straight fit jeans and 42 carpenter jean shorts to try on.  First I tried on the jeans and they fit!!  They were snug in the legs because of the straight fit but the waste fit!  Next I put on the shorts and OMG they fit too and they actually looked good!  I put them in the buggy but later discarded them because I decided to revamp the bathroom with some frogs that the wife loved. :)  So anyways, despite the out of control eating I had at the cabin I am delighted to see the results and so happy to be back on track.  I had a 6" subway club and apples for dinner tonight with water! Yummy!  It feels nice not to have my stomach gurgling and uneasy from eating unhealthy stuff!

Congratulations Chris :)  It feels wonderful doesn't it? Good luck to you! Leonetta

as a veteran clothes lover - I am trying hard to translate better eating = way cooler clothes.  That is awesome!  I did not weigh in for two weeks after my vaca, and i did this past Tuesday.  UP .2 pounds (just under a quarter pound).  i can deal.  I didn't pig out on vacation (well except that one day when i had two breakfasts and a double size supper) and was active nearly every day. But I am a 50 year old fatchick too.  I think being off your plan for a while is good in its way - it really is not that much fun to pig out and you realize how good the right foods feel.  Anyhooooo, I am glad you went shopping.  This is called a NSV (non-scale victory) in obesityhelp speak.

Congratulations Chris!!!
