I did better than maintain!

Starting Weight: 175.9 lbs.
Pre-Travel: 163.0
New Weight: 161.2
Loss during travel: 1.8
Total Loss: 14.7
I'm back home and wanted to update on my weight loss. As I have said before, I post these to hold myself accountable and so I can remeber the hard work I have done. I'm almost 15 lbs. down and almost into the 150s. Even better than the numbers, I have a whole new wardrobe of clothes that I was not able to wear last winter. Matt is less than pleased with my requests to go shopping - but I'm rapidly approaching some major issues with my wardrobe. This includes my favorite pair of jeans that I can take off without unbuttoning! They are becoming my "not-so-favorite" pair because they are really too big to be wearing, but I don't desire to buy clothes now and then having to shop again when I have settled at a weight/size later on.
I'm pleased that I not only managed to maintain my weight loss through travel season, but actually lost a little. Travel season is tough - most of my meals are eaten out, and my schedule is unpredictable.

Wow that is awesome Linds! I find it so hard to eat healthy when I'm traveling too. I'm proud of you- 15 lbs is another great milestone!

Also, I saw those jeans a few weeks ago and they were already falling off you then! :)

I know! But I can't justify buying new ones until I'm done losing. However, I wore them to the airport today and I had to take my belt off to go through security and I hoped they didn't fall right off in the middle of security madness at the airport.

OK you have to admit, that would have been a great story. Maybe not right away, but in a few years I'm sure you could get a good laugh out of it!!! :)
