The Big Weigh-in... Week 13: -1.2 lbs.

Hello again, old friends! I've been absent the past 3 weeks for a variety of reasons.

Regardless, I'm back. This week, I lost 1.2 lbs and am only 2.2 lbs. away from Onederland! My weight loss is approaching the halfway mark. I realized today that my plan can be divided neatly into two segments: The First 30 Pounds, down to around 200, and The Second 30 Pounds down to 170, which is my current goal and at the top of normal for my build. I thought I was going to do something special for my 10%, but it just moved on by. I think I may try a reward after crossing into Onederland.

To paraphrase the President, "the state of my clothing is strong!" I now fit plentifully into all my current wardrobe, including the mis-sized 38 pants that really were 36. In fact, I have definitely dropped a full pants size, as I cannot wear 38's without needing severe belt support. I went out last week and bought some new shorts and a pair of jeans, all in 36 size. Can't tell you how good that feels. I was at 36 for most of my adult life, but I really think when I hit my goal I'll settle in at 34. So, I don't want to buy too many clothes now.

My points tracking has gone to shit lately, as I've been on business travel and been eating foods that I couldn't calculate the points on reliably. I'll usually hit breakfast and lunch on the WW site, then I know what I need for dinner. Then I'll skip the dinner tracking. I'm redoubling my efforts starting today to be more vigilant. Of course, I have some business travel coming up in about 2 weeks.

I'm excited that both BS and myself are about to cross into new territories around the same time. This is really the second biggest milestone until reaching my final goal. Perhaps there should be a little wager on who crosses first...
