Day 253

Here I am again playing catch up.  Today was good especially due to it being Friday and next week I'm on vacation.  I also made a pretty awesome discovery.  When I got dressed in the morning I really felt like I wanted to wear one of the two shirts I bought a few months ago.  They were XL's not 2XL's like all of my current shirts.  All this week I'd been discovering that I could wear either 44" waist pants or shirts from my past (10yrs in the past).  So I felt it was time to try the new smaller shirts.  I tried on the first one and IT FIT!  The other one was still very tight so it must be a small XL and the one I could wear was a big XL.  I ended up not wearing it though as I felt like it was still very close.  After eating lunch it may have done the "stretching at the button" thing that means it wasn't fitting correctly.  I was still quite pleased though.  I'm now going to go out next week and pick up a new pair of pants, 44" waist.  Gotta keep it up and focus.

Belt loop Watch: 4 but 5 is really peeking at me so soon.....

Breakfast: Egg and roast beef sandwich with cheese, tomato, and avocado on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: A frozen entree chili releno from TJ's.  Added cheese and a sausage.  It's low in calories and quite tasty.

2nd break: A Laughing Cow individual low fat cheese snack and the green tea drink.

Dinner: A couple of beers and then for food I did a finger food menu.  I had the TJ's breaded shrimps, Chinese suimi (like a dumpling) and 10 onion rings.

All week my body has been looking like it's lost some weight but we'll see how it goes tomorrow at weigh in.  Even if I've not lost any weight I definitely have lost some inches.  I can tell just by the way my clothes are fitting.  So will meet with L tomorrow and learn another workout that I can use to continue the mission.  Next week will be a challenge but I'm confident that I'll at least have fun (LOL).  I do plan on going to the gym everyday so we'll see if I can stick to that.  I haven't done so well in the past.
