Incredibly... I'm Large!

I was disappointed but not surprised that I'd gained weight during the past month of moving, packing, vacations, and travel.  I'm already back "in training" and working off those pounds and working toward new lows.

Something really exciting happened this past Friday.  We took the kids out to buy school supplies and some clothes and while walking through Kohl's I was amazed by all the clothes that are now available to me as an XL.  Something strange happened though...  Every XL I held up seemed huge. They were all big and boxy and seemed significantly larger than what I need to be wearing.

Looking through one of the sale racks while my wife was busy with the kids, I noticed this great print shirt in a color I love.  It was a large.  I held it up and realized, "I think it will fit!"  I went to the changing room, tried it on, then modeled it for the kids.  It did fit!  The proof is in the picture above.

Incredibly... I'm Large! 

I still have a smile on my face and am amazed...
