The Ring Sizes Have Dropped Too

Between last October till now, I've dropped alot of weight. So has the man. Like I said, it wasn't exactly intentional. We were feeling bloated. So we simply cut out supper and ate smaller portions at meals instead of over-doing the carbs. We didn't double the pace or intensity of our workouts. As for me, I cut out alot of meat and sugar. We are surprised at how effective the whole thing's been.

Sometime this May, our weddings bands kept falling off the fingers. Along with the weight loss, the fingers have kinda 'narrowed'. I didn't think that one could lose pounds off fingers! What used to fit snugly, is now loose. We've literally dropped 2 ring sizes. Once we straighten the fingers and keep it down, gravity and the weight of the ring combined will ensure that it falls off at some point. Mine has slipped off so many times already. Once, it kinda flew off because the hand gestures were a little too animated. Luckily that happened in the office and it didn't go hide in a corner. Of course, along with the countless times it fell off into the sink while washing my hands.

The man came home only to realize that the wedding band was not on his finger. The man is upset. I'm not too perturbed actually. I suggested that since the bands have fallen off, we could just forget about getting new ones and not wear them anymore! But the man refused. He went through the day's activities and pinpointed that a possible retrieval was at the gym when he went there at lunch. Bright and early the next day, he called the gym and by a stroke of luck, somebody picked up the small item from the bathroom floor and returned it to lost and found. The man was happy as a lark. Now, despite me giggling at his stories of how this gym's shower curtains always have holes in them, I shall credit them for having honest and kind people in there.

I know what we will be doing this weekend. We're heading off to the jewelers to get a bridge done for the bands, and all my rings, or perhaps re-size them. 2 ring sizes down are too many.
