Big NSVs this weekend!!

I flew to NYC this weekend. I've had the trip planned for a few months - I haven't flown in just about a year, definitely since before I had the surgery. I got on the flight and asked for the seatbelt extender when I got on because I wanted to make sure I had it, just in case and because I still weigh around 270 so I didn't know if I needed it. Got in the seat and I DIDN'T NEED IT!! I've been flying about 2-3 times a year for the last 6 years and have always needed one. I seriously almost started crying. I texted my husband and told him that my trip was made, I could turn around and come home already lol. Also, the seat was way more comfortable, I wasn't way up in the person next to me's space and the flight was pretty okay because of it. It was WAY better flying.

Then we went to 2 shows on Broadway - again, sitting in the seats were perfectly fine. Not nearly as uncomfortable and instead of sitting through the whole show thinking about how I was all up in someone else's space I was immersed in the show.

I didn't cheat at all, I wasn't tempted once. (Okay, the menu items sounded good but I didn't even think about actually ordering them) I did have a hard time logging things in MFP since I was eating random things that I wasn't cooking but I still made good choices like seafood and steak. I had packed portions of beef jerky and safe snacks to bring with me just in case. I came home last night and this morning weighed myself and found I even managed to lose a pound while there - I wasn't sure I would since I had to eat out the whole time there. I'm not used to that - I cook and measure all meals at home!

Isn't this just the most AMAZING feeling in the world? YOU GO GIRL

When temptation comes your way (and it will) remember that feeling and you will walk away.

Can't wait for your updates

Nice job, Melinda! Sounds like a very fun weekend for all kinds of reasons!

Way to go!!!

That's AWESOME, Melinda! So glad to hear your trip went perfectly! All that planning made you super ready!

Good for you! Way to be

I hope you got to see Hamilton or Fun Home! What did you see???

Wait, did you know those were the 2 I was going to see? Because I saw those! Hamilton seriously lived up to the hype. I didn't know what to expect, because I'm not interested in American history but holy crap it's amazing! I haven't stopped listening to the soundtrack or talking about it in days. And Fun Home was so different and just as good, I loved it too. I've loved musicals since I was a kid. I love the classics and I love the modern musicals too.

I want to live your life. I didn't in know what you had chose but I picked my dream double.

I saw The Book of Mormon on their first tour. My twin saw it in NYC and she of course loved it but she said the seats were snug.

These days I go to opera. My mother in law takes us. It's always a good time.

Congrats on your NSV and your excellent theater choices.

Lol, we figured if we were going to go we should do it up big! I live in Ohio so I don't exactly get a chance to see great theater. We see tours when they come around and when I visit my best friend in Chicago I see better tours. I've been to NY 3 times now and each time I'm blown away by the shows.
