One Year On

I have been rather delinquent with my weight loss updates recently, so here's the latest news. While the rate of descent has slowed considerably, the overall trend is still down. I have now lost almost 68 pounds, dropped to a 36" waist, and can run up multiple flights of stairs without being out of breath.

The exercise levels had to increase recently. I hit a plateau for a few weeks, so I started using the gym at work on a regular basis. I've also cycled part of the way to work a couple of times (about 19 miles)...but only on days when Denelle could pick me up from the train station on my way home! I'm getting fitter, but I'm not ready for both directions yet.

I recently met people I hadn't seen for more than a year. It was both amusing and gratifying that they had to look twice to recognize me, because my profile is now so different than before. It is much harder without as much excess weight, but I am staying the course until I hit my goal of 200lb (about 30% of my body weight).

Hope all is well in your worlds.
