I know, I’m late again.

I tried on my goal pants and shirt last Friday (Week 50; this is actually the start of Week 51), and the pants are closer to fitting. Just a slight difference, but I lost in the right places, and that’s what counts. I go to Vegas in about a month, and it would really be sweet to be able to wear them.

Speaking of Vegas, I’m also flying Southwest Airlines. I admit that the last time I flew SWA, out to Vegas, I was concerned that they’d pop me for an extra seat. I was most definitely heavier then I am, now.  I know I won’t have that as a possibility this time around, but what I’d really absolutely be over the moon about is if I don’t have to get a seat extender. We’ll see.

A few minor but nice victories: last Friday, I sat down on my mother’s couch, and crossed my legs. Not for a long time, but it was still sort of momentous to me!  I also did some excavating through our third bedroom, where I keep the smaller clothes that aren’t close to fitting yet, and found a couple pairs of shorts. They fit. And that’s really great, because I had been going through my available spring/summer clothes; most of what I’ve been wearing lately have been getting baggy.  I really would like to work down as far as I can in size without investing a lot in clothes, so this is good news.
