May 1st, 2015 It Fit Perfectly

I felt exceptional today. I didn't necessarily get any more sleep than I normally do, yet I was able to work through the day without an afternoon nap. I don't know how to explain it, really. Unless it was quality over quantity. Could be.

I'm emceeing a big wedding tomorrow night. Today was tuxedo fitting day. I suggested using the same measurements from last time, after all, it wasn't that long ago. The fitter, knowing how I've lost weight and continue losing, recommended new measurements. They had to size me down.

The jacket is a 44 long and the shirt is a Large, instead of an extra large. The jacket size is smaller than at my previous low weight in November 2010 and I'm still 10 or 12 pounds away from that weight.

The only reasonable explanation is something I noticed a long time ago. When I lost over 100 pounds in 2004, then quickly gained it back, I gained in different places. Parts of me remained smaller. The biggest example was my wrists. Only pre-2004 before pictures show my top weight wrists. Even the most recent relapse/regain period didn't give me big puffy wrists.

When a size 44 long was suggested today, I balked, "No, I don't want it to be too small and uncomfortable." Joe at Spray's Tuxedos insisted I try it on. It fit perfectly. I didn't feel like it was too small, at all. It felt good. Joe added, "You don't realize how small you've gotten. You're now smaller than me." To me, Joe looks like an average size guy. I'm fitting into sizes smaller than him--it just doesn't compute very easily. My brain seems to get an error message when I try to embrace the reality of my new smaller size.

I made it into the Y tonight for a good workout. then to the store and home to cook a wonderful meal. I almost picked up my usual chicken and zucchini squash tacos with lettuce and sour cream from the Mexican restaurant a few blocks from my apartment. They ring it up cheap. $6.52 for the entire order. It's difficult to prepare a homemade version for less.

I decided to cook my dinner tonight, considering I'll likely be dining out with an old friend and broadcasting mentor for lunch tomorrow--and if I have my way, we'll be going to that Mexican restaurant and I'll be having the chicken and zucchini fajita tacos. Best I not do them back to back.

I'm headed to bed relatively early for me on a Friday night. No short nap today. I can feel the difference in my tiredness. I'll be out as soon as my head hits the pillow.
