Practical Milestones
January 19th, 2010
Our Weight Watchers meetings are on Monday afternoons. Since yesterday was MLK, we won’t have a meeting this week. Out of a desire for consistency, I rely on only their scales, so no weigh in until next Monday. Instead, I have something far more concrete to celebrate than a number on a scale.
I’m out of notches on my belt.
Since I’ve started this, every so often the pants would slip down just a bit too much and i’d ratchet in another notch. I went to do that this morning, and suddenly found myself on the last hole, in the good direction. And for the first time counted – 5. I’ve come in 5 belt notches, and I have to bunch the waistband of the pants.
And more, I’m completely surprised how big this feels to me.
Yay, me. I feel special today!
Woo hoo! Seriously, dude — way to go. You’re too nice a guy to die young, and you’re well on the way to living a lot longer. Go Dosquatch! (BTW, you’re inspiring me to get back on the wagon, too — I’m getting back into my walking-home-from-work routine.)
