I ran yesterday, so glad the knee was not a factor. It wasn't to painful all day (yesterday) - more stiff and that went away as I started to run. I had a good run - close to 7 miles. Yesterday I worked on a few of the writing tasks for the Chazon site and I also started building a blog for "The Road to Punda Milia" the movie about international volunteering.
Blogging about Africa, both the experience of it and the progress of the film are both long over-due. The blog about my weight loss has to continue and I think the two will go together - they actually do go together. I can't finish the down 200 film without first finishing The Road to Punda Milia, as it's making is a part of the down 200 film. Interestingly the obligations of the Africa project (it's much larger then just a film) have had a profoundly negative effect on my weight. I have to get a handle on this. I have gained over 40 lbs since leaving for Africa. That's in like just five months.
Before leaving for Africa i weighed 215.2, the scales at the Abrams center were not working yesterday so i couldn't weigh in - but my last weigh in had me at 256.8. OK this is the first time I have admitted how much weight I have gained. One reason why I was hesitating to blog was that I ended every blog with how much I weighed and I had been blogging daily. I'm embarrassed for gaining back as much as I have, but I'd rather face that then continue to gain. It's been very positive to be open about my progress (and now my failings) as it creates accountability. So from now on two things - I will start blogging everyday again (some will be quite short) and I will close with my weight (assuming the scale is working :)
