Who Wears Short Shorts (well not me anyway)

I had a little NSV this week. I'm not one for wearing shorts too much (besides gym shorts which I live in). You know, the cargo shorts, button and fly type. But I was going on vacation so I put the shorts I wore last year in the suitcase. I knew I would need a belt because they were a bit tight last year but I've lost some weight since then. Well now, not only are they loose. With them button and the fly up, I can actually take them off. Guess I need some smaller sized shorts, huh? I guess the size 34 shorts just ain't gonna cut it anymore.

And my new jeans, my goal jeans, my size 30 Kenneth Cole jeans that I just got 5 weeks ago? They are starting to get a bit loose in the waist. I haven't been in a size 30 since high school (4 decades ago and 50 pounds lighter). Can I make it to a size 28? I'm sure going to try. I'm not there quite yet, but in another 5 weeks? I hope so.
