Either I Scraped Off More Hide Than I Thought…

121 comments


…or I’ve lost another four pounds. That’s 84 pounds lost since February 4th, if anyone besides me is counting, with roughly 40 more to go.

Actually, from looking at a left leg that is twice as large as my right, you’d think I’d weigh more, but that is apparently not the case.

Since I started with The Borg, my exercise regimen has slacked off a bit, and I haven’t been as diligent in my eating habits either. I’m still losing though, and I expect the weight loss to accelerate considerably once my leg heals and I can get on a bicycle.

A number of people have e-mailed me asking my secret, and honestly, there isn’t one. I expend more than I consume. It’s that simple. If you guys would like a post describing exactly what my diet and exercise regimen has been, let me know in the comments and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Be warned, though: it isn’t anything Earth-shaking.

On another note, since I’m essentially an invalid for the next 7-10 days, expect a marked upswing of posting in the next week, starting with the story of the bike wreck later tonight or tomorrow.

You’re welcome.

    Words fail me. Being human os living with tragedy but you’ve seen too much in the last few days and come too close. Around here, the number of motorcycle wrecks is up but so is the number of riders. On a per-bike basis, the accident rate is trending down. Small comfort when it’s you. BTDT. Hang onto your heart.

    Dude! Cudos on the successeful weight loss campaign! And godspeed on the recovery . . . Ya know, walking could be billed as a dangerous activity, yet nobody talks about the multitudinous ways in which we could @#*% ourselves up with that favored activity most of us do on a daily basis. You’re a smart guy – you use caution and good judgement. Accidents could happen anywhere while we’re doing anything. The bike is cool, man . . . I wish you many, many more joyous rides!I’m looking forward to further musings . . . write away!
