Day 176: Another NSV

I was checking out my sunburn in the mirror last night when something caught my attention: my collarbones. They are becoming visible now. I looked closer in the mirror and I also noticed that my cheekbones are becoming more prominent and the roundness of my face is really going away and being replaced by a way more triangular shape. I never really thought I would ever get back to looking like this, and I'm really looking forward to getting to my goal weight now. I've never really had an issue with my self-image and now I'm starting to look like my self image. It's very exciting to me.

And as much as I may grouse about buying new clothes, I broke down and ordered two pairs of size 42 jeans last night, mostly because Levi's had an extra 30 percent off sale going on, which, when coupled with my 10 percent off coupon meant I got 40 percent off and I got two pairs of jeans for less than 70 bucks including shipping. The last time I looked at jeans at the Big and Tall man's store, it was almost 70 bucks for one pair of jeans without tax or anything else. I'm quite frankly loving that I don't have to buy from the big and tall man's section anymore. That also means that I can actually order a true Browncoat and not have the thing custom made. If you don't understand the reference, google "Browncoat" and "Firefly".

For the record, I really, really, REALLY hate sunburns. Right now I'm in that horrible itchy stage of healing and it sucks. As much as I would love to sport an all-over tan, I think I would end up resembling the Heat Miser instead of a Sun God. I'm going to try tanning again once my burn heals some more and see if I can get a nice color going on. I'm already getting slim and trim, so I might as well keep trying.

Do Svidanja!
