Day 57

I had to take the little guy to the doctor today. His cough just hasn't gotten any better, in fact it sounds like his chest is congested. The doc gave him some good stuff though so I'm sure that in a few days he'll be fine.

While I was there I took the opportunity to weigh myself on their scale, mimicking the scenario of my previous check-up. I weighed in at 230 fully clothed, which means that according to their scale I've lost a full 40 pounds!

On our home scale I lost a pound from last night to tonight, bringing me down to 227.

I might just be able to give myself a nice Christmas present this year: a body weight of less than 200 pounds. It will be the first time in almost 10 years. It's something to look forward to at least.

Not much to say about the day besides the fact that I had 28 emails in my inbox when I went in to check my work computer this afternoon. A good amount of it was work too. I'll be busy tomorrow morning, but hey, I'll be awake... in part.

I'm anticipating the "need" for a diet Dew by mid morning. Yes, "need." Now try and imagine that without the quotation marks and you'll see how I feel about the stuff.

I didn't go for 8 miles tonight, but I know that I could have had I wanted to spend the entire evening ignoring my family. That, and I got started late. I was busy looking for GS12 and 13 slots.

*knocking on wood*

Day 57: 5.3 miles in 90 minutes.
