I'm Back! and NSVs!

Wow, is it great to be back and not rushing off somewhere!

I briefly stepped on the scale this morning and it's up a little, I'm
hoping it's because I didn't have nearly enough water on this trip. My
official weigh-in day is Monday, so we'll see what happens then!

I did a fairly good job of staying OP, at least for the actual meals.
Days on the road were another story - DF is a habitual snacker and I'm
afraid I have no resistance! Oh well, gummi bears can't be all that
bad, can they? Lunches on the road were decent (and cheap) - we
picked up a loaf of bread for the way there, and some bagels for the way
back, and some 96% fat-free lunch meats and made sandwiches in the car.

I discovered that my tastes are changing as I go further with this WOE.
For instance I usually track down Krispy Kreme while in Las Vegas and
have one, since they're good and we don't have them here. This time I
couldn't even face the thought of it! At the Aladdin buffet (best in
Vegas) I'd usually be heading off toward the fantastic dessert station
to see what the offerings are, this time I thought the best offerings
were the grilled asparagus and the hummus! Yum!

Sometime over the next few days I'll be going through the pictures and
putting the trip report online, I'll post the URL then for those that
are interested.

Oh, and 2 NSVs, both relating to the MIL:
- When we arrived at MIL's house, the first thing she did was hug me and
say how skinny I'm getting (bit of an exaggeration on her part, but it
was the sentiment was appreciated!)
- Our last night with the in-laws, MIL brought out a sweater set she had
bought for herself. She wore it once but it was too large for her (it's
an XL) and she thought that maybe I could wear it. It fits quite
nicely. MIL is about a medium, so I don't know why she bought an XL -
I'm assuming it was on sale. But the fact that she even considered that
something she bought for herself would fit me is an NSV!
