Still at 235 -- But a lot of competition for attention
I'm still at 235 (perhaps 2 pounds over that), but now wear an air-
cast on my left foot. Please avoid "insertional Achilles tendonitis" if you can. Hurts a fair amount and restricts one's walking. I'm told the pain will go away within two weeks, as long as I wear the air-cast and restrict my activities. I'm sure this is one of the insults associated with aging. (As my father used to say, "Consider the alternative!") Also tonight (4-3-07) we had several excellent guests on our live, call-in cable TV show: "Progressive Radio on TV." Tonight our title was "Seriously ****ed Off Grannies" and we had two people from Surge Protection here in Portland, Oregon. Super ladies! They get arrested for doing what they believe in -- putting their bodies on the line to stop the War in Iraq. And we all know that it's not a war -- it's an occupation. To see a bit of the background of our show tonight, go to www.progressiveradioontv.com I'm going to put this show (and other recent ones) on Google Videos in the next few days. Also, three weeks ago we had the 2007 Portland Peace March here in Portland and our videos of that are on www.lightningtoweb.com Some things are just much less important than people dying in Iraq and elsewhere. My exercise is curtailed for a few weeks, and my calories have to decline even more as a result. My pants of 93 days ago are still too huge for me and will be thrown away soon. Interesting about the Achilles tendon problem -- first bothered me about a year ago but at least now I have an air-cast (says my podiatrist) if the problem recurs. He says that everything should be okay in a month or so but that no stretching for two weeks. Oh, well! "In the fullness of time!" I hope everyone is well and is approaching their health goals! Yours truly, Caleb |

Yours truly, Caleb My weight used to injure my ankle. Careful measurement and management of those calories is important. Motivation can be tough, but it can be done. Cubit 190/172/160 |

You might get a kick out of my story so far .... http://www.eisboch.com/wheresme RCE Excellent, RCE! I also noticed that all the diets in every magazine I open at the supermarket is low-calories. The secret is to find the one that will make you loss weight the easiest and possible to maintain in the long term. What has worked extremely well for me in the past is eating lots of vegetables and fruits. The more vegetables you eat, the less room there is for other kind of food. For instance, last week I cooked a large piece of steak, enough to feed 2 people. I ate it without salad or anything. If I had had a big salad with that, I would have eaten probably the third, so that's lots of calories that add up. And you have to consider how much vitamins and minerals I did not get. |
