DAY 1

President Trump has been in office for one day, and the country survived Day 1. Remember, I am a supporter, but I must confess that nearly anything is possible with this guy in office. Apparently the biggest concern of Trump yesterday was worrying too much about the size of the crowds reported by the dishonest media. If Trump is going to go bonkers about every lie told about the media, he is going to be busy indeed. The only time that the media report a story accurately is when there is some kind of typo in the story that accidentally makes a story true.

People stand on the National Mall to listen to the 58th Presidential Inauguration for

President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Friday, January 20

Yesterday, was my personal Day 1 as I have (finally) decided to get serious (again) about managing my caloric intake. Yesterday I did not eat any chocolate (or conveniently forget to log chocolate that I did eat) and as a result I broke a cycle of overeating that I have been engaged in for far too long. A 'streak' of one day isn't much, but even Joe DiMaggio had to get that first hit before he continued his unbreakable hitting streak for 55 additional games.

I really can't get to obsessed with how big Trump's crowds were for his inauguration. I am simply grateful that the crowds for Trump's inauguration were larger than the crowds for Hillary Clinton's inauguration.

I have been thinking about all the morons marching and protesting carrying signs claiming that Trump was not their president. As you can see by the above map, President Donald J Trump is actually president of the entire population of all 50 states, so I wonder where all these morons live

BANANA REPUBLIC BLUE JEANS

Different brands of clothing adhere to sizes a bit, well... differently. It is my belief that Banana Republic 'runs small.' (In other words, if one usually wears a waist size of 40, perhaps if shopping at Banana Republic one would have to consider a 42. Many months ago when I was confident that my weight loss would continue (before my hernia operation) I purchased a pair of BANANA REPUBLIC BLUE JEANS at a huge discount, even though at the time they did not even remotely fit me. This pair of blue jeans was 36" waist. I tried them on last night. They are tight, but in a pinch, they could be worn. The waist size that I was forced to wear when I started this little journey on December 24, 2014 was 50" - and they were tight. A man wearing tight 50" blue jeans is not a pleasant sight. It is even less pleasant being that man. I don't know if a man wearing tight 36" blue jeans is a pleasant sight or not. I do know, that I enjoy being that man.

I am looking forward to wearing these Banana Republic 36" blue jeans when they are a bit more comfortable.

Yesterday I think some physical fatigue was setting in. I walked, but 'only' 8 miles. I thought that was all I would do, but later in the evening my daughter wanted to talk a walk downtown. So although that second 4 mile walk was not as vigorous - I did walk twelve miles yesterday.
