Twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty pounds ago.......

Woo...So I got in this morning and stepped on the scale expecting to see my weekend gain back again and was pleasantly surprised. 256.6 stared back at me from the readout. That magical little number represents a 20 lb drop since I began this mess 6 weeks ago. Wow, just wow. I say I can not really see it in myself, but others say they can, and clothes do fit differently. I went out Friday with the wife and kids and tried on pants in a size I have not seen since my days at the orange university in the hills of SC. The times they are a changing. Twenty down, now to do it 2 more times.

I take two steps forward.....you know the rest.

So apparently I am getting old. Who knew? So after posting about my weight loss last week, I went to the doctor to investigate an issue I have been having with my lower back and outside of my thigh. Doctor's prognosis, blown disc. Blown disc, really? I can still run and exercise with it right? Apparently so. She told me I can still walk, ride a bike, swim and do some weights. No running or jostling exercises and to take it easy for a while. Time to heal, nine to twelve months. So here we go, time to really get this body I have back in shape and healed up. Weight loss is continuing and I have begun walking the stairs at work several times a day(five flights down and five back up).

Weight: 261(Superbowl weekend was not a friend of the diet)
Stair runs per day: 3
Considering beginning the 100 push-up a day challenge
