197 lbs.: Breaking the 200 Barrier

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Sun, 05/13/2007 - 11:24am

For the first time in years -- actually, probably a decade -- I weigh less than 200 lbs. I wish I could say some great feat of willpower brought me to this point, but it was more likely the nasty hacking cough and sinus infection that I've been fighting for the last two-to-three weeks that did the trick. As I've written before, I almost always lose weight when I'm sick as my appetite evaporates, and I've already upticked a few pounds from 195. That said, as I felt better I started walking to work again, and this week I returned to the gym, so I expect I'll be able to stay in sub-200 land.
