My Belt....it's huge!
I pulled out a pair of jeans yesterday that I wear occasionally. I haven't worn them in a while because when I went to cinch the belt up it didn't fit in the last hole that I had previously punched in the belt, no, I needed to move another 5 inches to the right to close the thing! That made me feel awesome and kind of bad…

Still seems so odd to me. It seems so odd to me too that the last week or so I have noticed that my calories in are so much lower than…

Wardrobe Expansion
I work as a dispatcher for a university police department and with the start of school comes the need to switch back to business casual. Given that I have lost 18 pounds since the middle of April that means that my pants are probably going to be too big. Tried all of them on the other day and some are far too big, others…

Great Weekend
This was a really good weekend, well 3 days including my days off. Went to a wedding on Saturday ate well, had 2 beers, still came in under goal for the day even without recording exercise calories. I take the approach of eating what I want in moderation and staying under the recommended numbers and doing a lot of walking…
