Exercise = Pain

It never goes away - always one strange pain or another. Now it's my big toe - turning black and hurting, leg cramps again. I got back on my 600 calorie or less diet yesterday. I bought a bunch of Progresso Tomato Soup a few days ago - and finally made it through the day without cheating. So I started at 255.6 - dropped to 252.6 last night. I have only been able to drop to about 249.2 lately - I hope now that I'm back on the extreme calorie cutback I can finally move beyond this and get back down again. Then I'll pursue Mayo for the excess skin removal surgery. It's been a long time coming.

I weighed 252.6 today.

i was a little disappointed

yesterday i got back to the abraham center to weigh myself for the first time since going in for emergency surgery on a hernia. that was on a wednesday and the tuesday prior i had eaton almost nothing. of course through out the surgery and initial recovery i ate a few packs of crackers and one piece of toast. just felt too nauseous to eat anything. i have heard that people typically lose a lot of weight due to surgery but i only lost 4 lbs. this was such a huge disappointment - it felt like i had lost much more.

to make matters far worse i will not be able to run for the next 2-3 weeks. i was just starting to prepare myself to return to the two a day workouts and now it'll be no workouts. hopefully i will be able to finish the final tasks for the Chazon web site and a few other tasks related to that. i'll have more time now.


i weighed 248.2 yesterday.

Back to SXSW

Back to SXSW

it's final and approved - i'll be heading to austin texas in march... the sxsw design conference / film festival. it'll be 4 years in a row for me and jay (one of my employees) - mitch will join us also and he's a great one to have a long. he also use to work at mayo clinic and also a filmmaker. he's an oncologist and took a great new gig in wisconsin a few years ago.

austin texas is awesome - i totally love it... it's the best place in the world to watch a film. the films which include many great docs each year and are always inspiring and you learn so much. i have taken on a new role at work and the conference also includes interactive design so i will take advantage of more of those course selections.

so with the good news (this was not a guarantee this year) i have jumped back on my strict calorie restricted diet. i want to get off all the weight i have gained since africa. this is a great incentive and having great incentives is what really works for me. so the plan is not to eat until mid march and my weight should be back to where it was. i hope i can do it.

new years people

today was good - i was running late with work, tempted to skip the run - went anyway. it's that time of year again when the place is so crowded. can barely find an open locker or an open treadmill!. sadly in a few weeks it'll be back to normal. people's news years resolutions only last a few weeks.
