And it feels like an eternity. August and May feel like breezes compared to October. Keep this short, because this is about weight loss, not my personal dramatics. In the month of October, I have lost a very close family member to me and I’ve broken my ribs. A lesser man would have cracked and fell back into an old lifestyle. And I did. I admit it, I am human. shocking huh? Between the month of September and October, for the first time, I did not lose weight, I gained weight. But fear not my minions, I dug myself out of the hole I was in, and am better for it.
How did the whole cracked ribs happen? As many of you know, I have decided to play tackle football in the city of Phoenix. It was the first practice in full pads, and I just took a shot to the ribs and later found out that I cracked a few of ‘em. So I have to take a few weeks (up to maybe a month) off. So, stats galore:
8/3/2009 254.0 (-6.4)
8/10/2009 251.6 (-2.4)
8/17/2009 250.4 (-1.2)

Lost 23 pounds in two months.
Total loss to date: 89.4 pounds. I found out from my doctor that he actually weighed me in at 327 pounds. So I adjusted the beginning.
On a side note, I’m back on weight watchers, which is helping keep my calories in check while I’m healing from my ribs. I also will be running my second triathlon on Thanksgiving day!
