Bad News:
I gained .72 lbs this week. And Billy is about to bust through a plateau, so I might be out $50 here soon.
Good News:
1. This week was messed up. Not only did I trek out to Madison, WI on Monday-Thurs, I then turned around and drove up to Syracuse, NY with the family on Saturday (returned late last night). I did very well on both trips, not missing any workouts and eating well. But I think that your body gets a little messed up when you travel, so I'm chalking the gain up to travel and I expect to even out this week.
2. Yesterday we were at the Syracuse mall, and I tried on a pair of size 32 jeans, and they fit perfectly (my wife agreed). I haven't been a size 32 since junior year in college (17 years ago). I had a feeling that they would fit since the size 33 pants I've been wearing have been getting loose. I had to fight the urge to buy them, as they were $78 and I'm not at my goal yet, so I have a feeling that they won't fit in a month or two.
3. Correlating with #2, my measurements were very good. I lost significantly around the waist and hips, and didn't lose from the chest and thigh, where I should be making muscle gains.
4. Over the last two weeks, I've felt way better. The TT workout is kicking my ass, and I can feel my muscles getting bigger and firmer (especially the lower body).
5. I took pictures today and I look better. Today was the first day I looked at my start picture and current picture and thought "Wow, what a huge transformation!" Before it was "Boy, I sure look different". In my mind, there is a big difference between these two thoughts.

It's weird that our hips can measure 34.5 and yet size 32 pants fit. Where were they from?
My jeans and cords are 33's, but when I went shopping for dress pants, I needed 34's. I think those sizes are more accurate.
Hopefully you'll reverse the trend as things get back to normal, but the important thing is the mental shift you must be having from all the success.
Plus, Mom said she found a picture of when we went to Serges and said you look all ripped in it.
They were from Banana Republic. It's funny, throughout the process I've gone into BR and tried on pants. At one point, I tried on 35's and they didn't fit, but 36 did. Then a while later I tried on 34's, didn't fit, but the 35's did. Then I did the same thing for 33/34. Then the 33's fit last month, but the 32's were WAY too tight. Then yesterday the 32's fit. It's a neat way to track progress.
So Mom found the picture we were looking for?
I have 2 of the exact same pair of jeans from express, samd style/cut/color, everything. One is a 34, and one is a 33. They fit exactly the same.
She claims to have, I have yet to see it...
If you stayed with your exercise and diet while traveling then you have nothing to worry about. I bet the weight will come down this week for you. It will be another testament to sticking to your program. Pretty sweet that you and Billy both could dominate the weight loss game. It would be cool to live a day in you or Billys mind to learn what drives you guys. Your mom must be proud. Keep kicking ass.
