Day 35 – Goal #2 Achieved!

Today’s Weight:  384.8 lbs

Yesterday’s Water:  128 oz

YESSSSSSSSS!  Goal #2 was finally achieved.  After bouncing around 390, I’m finally reliably below it three days in a row.  Amusingly, I’m also below Goal #3 for the first day, so it will be interesting to see if I can stay below 385 for three days in a row as well.  I’m skeptical – I will probably bounce up a pound or two at least tomorrow.

In any case, I’m happy with progress to this point – things are happening.

Tried my suit on – it “fits”.  The pants are perfectly fine as is.  I can’t button the jacket, but I can’t justify buying a new jacket when I’m so dedicated to losing weight, so my plan is just not to button it.  I did discover that my biggest (more formal – appropriate for wearing with a suit) dress shirt doesn’t actually fit me right now – the spaces between the button holes gape so much you can see straight into my belly button.  Not an attractive formal look.  So we ordered two shirts from amazon, as I the cruise will have two formal nights and then there’s the actual wedding.  I don’t like spending money on clothes right now, but I had to in this case.
