No scale victories, I have hit a brick wall there, but I have a few NSVs!!!  First, I was invited to a reception that my company was sponsoring on Thursday night.  I haven't seen the person that invited me in over a year, he knew nothing about the surgery.  All he knew is I haven't been feeling good lately.  I spent the evening mixing and mingling and when the reception was over a few of us went to the hotel bar.  On the elevator ride down he told me -- you look healthy!!!!!  I don't think he realized what he said, how excited I was to hear that.  That is the reason I am on this journey -- not just for the weight loss, but to get my life back and it is working.  There was even a short conversation at the bar about how good I was looking lately  :-)  Whoo hoo

Second NSV -- I was going to the Rockets game last night and was out shoe shopping during the day.  Of course, who can just look at shoes????  I found myself looking at clothes and wouldn't you know I found a shirt I just couldn't resist.  I have been eyeing this type of shirt all season long but just wasn't sure about it.  It was one of those long shirt dress things that can only be worn with leggings --- hmmmm.  I bought the shirt then headed to the junior section to get those leggings, yeah you know the ones --- the ones I swore I would not wear when they came back into style this year.  Well, I bought a pair.  The real test came when I got home, would they accompany me to the Rockets game????  I tried on the whole outfit and was truly amazed how cute it looked. Maybe that virtual trainer did some good with all those ludges after all, the leggings didn't look as bad as I imagined, except they were a little too big.  The only problem now, no boots to wear and no time to go back to the store --- enter K's closet.  She has these really cute pair of black fuzzy boots so outfit complete (except some dumb girl kept giving my boots a dirty look in the bathroom.  What the heck did my boots ever do to her???)  Oh yeah, and going to the game was fun, I really enjoyed being comfortable in my seat. Crazy little things, huh???
