Well, the good news or the bad news first?
Well, let’s try the bad news: since the first of the year, my weight has gone up 5 lbs.
That’s actually … not really too bad news. It’s been a sloppy year, eating-wise. But the weight has actually held pretty steady, remarkably enough, since May. I’ve bobbed this year between 207 and 217, and am presently in the happy medium at 212. And, in some ways, that’s the good news, too.
Another piece of good news is that I’m still trending right for my 1500 Miles to Nowhere. Actually, the last week has been pretty good for that, as rehearsals and the play itself require a lot of walking (about 1,500 steps each run-through).
So …now that that’s behind me (albeit with a lot of other things going on in front of me), it sounds to me like a good time to kick back in the Geek Diet, and see if I can hit (and sustain) the 200 lb. mark by the end of the year. I’d like to be able to tell everyone that size 36s are still on the table, even if I’m falling into the range where some fit and some don’t. Won’t be as impressive as all of this sort of activity,
but man’s gotta know his limitations.
