Time, She keeps on passing.....

And I keep dropping. So this week brought about two things for me; 1. I bought a pair of 38 pants and actually wore them comfortably and 2. For the first time in three months I had a Burger with an actual bun. Both of these do not seem like much but for me they are huge things.
First, the size 38 pants. Confession here, I can not remember the last time I wore pants with a 3 beginning the size. It has to have been at least 15 years since I last wore 38s. So, this has been a big thing for me. Also could be the beginning of an expensive trend(Hello new wardrobe).
Second, I may have found a new heaven on earth. I may want to move into Bull City Burger and Brewery. So, we went there for dinner on Thursday night and OMG, Amazing. All locally grown and made in-house. Best part, they had Gluten free burger buns. The sensation of eating a actual burger on an actual bun, you don't realize how amazing this is till you can't.
So my current weight is right around 245 and is just over 30 lbs in three months. Not to 200 yet, but the road is working fine thus far.

But will I be your biggest loser?

You know, that question is really loaded. So I did not win the biggest loser contest at work. Lost out to a person who had a shorter road to 10% by about .8% but I am not sad. I have now lost about 30 pounds and just purchased a pair of 38 jeans that fit and do not look painted on. I find it crazy to be happy about 38s but I am and it shows, or so people say. This weekend should be fun. I will see people I have not seen in months, who last saw me at almost 40 pounds heavier than I am now. Crazy. The battle with gluten continues and it is getting harder. It seems that the intolerance I had built up thru my life is now all gone and any wheat now really does a spell on me. But we adapt and that has been fun. We recently got in a shipment of Gluten-free cake mix, baking mix and 26 pounds of corn pasta. If you did not know us you may think we were Italian. Anyway onwards and downwards...
