Default This should jump-start my weight-loss again (long-winded)


Well, I weighed myself again. To review, I now run 5-6 times per
week, 5-7 milles at 60-90 minutes a pop, and have continued to avoid
flour, sugar, etc. (aside from wheat gluten and a few 'lower-carb'
tortillas), and for the most part, this has worked for me.

However, for the past month I've stuck at 215 pounds. Which is great,
mind you.... I haven't been this weight since college. On the other
hand, for a six-foot-three male, 215 puts me at a BMI of 26.9, mildly
overweight. Even with my large frame, I still have a bit more to go.

So, I just got the results of my TB test back from my doc... routine
visit, but I hit the jackpot and came out positive. Now I have to take
some medication (I forgot what it was called) for nine months, and the
best part is I CAN'T DRINK while I'm taking it! Instant excuse to cut
even more empty calories from my diet (alcohol), even when I thought I
couldn't eliminate any more.

So, I imagine within 2-3 months of starting this medication, if I
continue my lc-compliant lifestyle I should be well under 200.

Anyways, we'll see.
