I’ve been losing weight for a while now, as I’ve posted about a couple of times. Today was another landmark. For the last few years, I’ve been wearing the same size/style of jeans – Old Navy Loose 36×30. I typically wore these pretty low, beneath my belly. I’ve noticed over the last while that I could pull my jeans up higher and that I needed to cinch my belt tighter and tighter. I was also told that my butt was disappearing in the jeans and that the style was not flattering. That brings us to today.

We headed over to Old Navy in Roseville and I tried on a couple of different styles of jeans. The first style I grabbed was a boot cut, followed by a straight fit, both in a 34″ waist. As a backup, I grabbed the same style as always, but one size down, as with the others. First I tried on the straight fit, which fit pretty well. Next up was the boot cut, which fit even better. I emerged from the fitting room and asked my wife how they looked. She approved and so I was sold. The fact that they were on sale for $19 didn’t hurt either.

So there we have it, a new pair of jeans in a smaller size and a much more flattering style. This is the first of many indications that I’m shrinking around the middle. I’ll be sure to update with any other indicators, mostly because I enjoy bragging about it.

On Monday afternoon, since I had the day off work, I headed over to Blue Goose Produce in Loomis, CA. My reason for doing this was not to get fresh, locally grown produce as you may expect from a store with such a name, but rather to pick up some of their grass-fed beef. While there, I had the opportunity to pick up some pork from another local producer – Coffee Pot Ranch. I had the good fortune to run into Bob from Coffee Pot selling his wares at the Foothills Farmers Market yesterday afternoon. I asked him if it was a regular occurrence and he confirmed that it was. Pickings were a little slim due to the late hour, but I did score some pork fajita meat for a nice price. There was a little over a pound in the package and about half of it became my breakfast this morning.

This particular farmers market is held in the same parking lot as Whole Foods, who have started to promote a new supposedly healthy eating initiative. Unfortunately, it’s the same old low-fat nonsense that has made Americans fatter and sicker over the last 20 years. This is a shame, because Whole Foods is one of the few places I can find grass-fed beef and other high quality meats. In fact, it’s where I got the bacon I ate for breakfast with the pork. Hopefully their new found enthusiasm for the way of eating they’re promoting doesn’t stop them stocking the good quality meats they carry. If they do, Bob and I will get much better acquainted, which is probably a good thing.
