Day 30 - Pizza!

Just ending a great weekend in NY hanging out with my old friends. I was planning on going to Grimaldi's for my indulgence, but decided to stay in Manhattan instead and went to John's on Bleeker Street. I was a bit worried my palate would have changed too much to really enjoy it, but nope. It is still awesome. Not too salty, not too oily, not too anything. Just awesome. I walked out of there feeling totally satiated. My friends went next door to Cones and got ice cream afterwards, I wasn't even remotely tempted, just happy with the pizza. Wandered around the city all afternoon enjoying a beautiful day and happy to be back home for a while. Stopped off for some fruit mid-afternoon. Got back to the hotel and I think I confused room service when I ordered two eggs, a glass of skim milk and a side of steamed veggies for dinner. I had picked up an apple and banana on the way back to the hotel so was set for dinner and my evening snack.

Most of the crowd here in NY didn't know about the project and I haven't been here since last July so I'm down almost 50 pounds since they saw me last. I might not be able to see that big of a change, but every single one of my friends made a comment as soon as they saw me. Also got some awesome reinforcement when I went to pick up a new belt and got one that was 8 inches shorter than the last time I bought a belt. I knew my waist was smaller, but it hits you differently when you actually buy something new and are in a totally different size range than you have been for the last 10+ years.

Great weekend... on to the week of visiting clients.
