Guys are flirting with me now.... people are nicer to me now that I have lost weight.... and all people want to socialize with eating and drinking.
SIGH....
So a few bad food choices happened... but that isn't going to get me down. I happened upon the "Big Apple" during the hottest heat wave in 60+ years! I walked tons... very proud of myself. I didn't take one single taxi the whole time. I even skimped on subways too!!
Get this! I toured the Empire State Building. The elevator takes you to the 80th floor where you wait in a cue to go onto the observation deck via elevator for the last 6 floors. I didn't want to wait in line for an hour - so I asked if I could take the stairs. You read it correctly... I ASKED to take the STAIRS - up 6 flights. I did it... (panted a little bit for the last flight) but I was so proud of myself. It was a beautiful view!
I even took the first 6 flights back down before catching the elevator again :)
I can't get over the changes I'm seeing. My shoe size has changed, my ring size has changed... and I was finally able to shop at H & M for clothing for the first time in my life... buying a size 12. I also went to another store and bought an XL in juniors clothing :)
So yes - you can assume I shopped my way through NYC versus eating my way through NYC!
Here is a before and after update from NYC:
