As I write this post, I'm sitting in bed, somewhat under the weather. I have spent most of the past 24 hours doing exactly that - sitting in a bed, trying to recover from a nasty cold. Although my head feels like soup and has felt that way for 2-3 days now, I decided that I would go to the gym on Thursday night in order to "sweat out" the cold. While I'm not sure that my exercise cured me, it momentarily cleared up my nose and took the pressure off my face. In addition, it caused me to have some very exciting news - I am officially down 13.6lbs off of the high. That means that I'm about 1/3 of the way to my goal. Pretty exciting, right?
In addition to meeting a milestone, the weight loss also means that I am no longer part of the obesity problem in the United States. Although BMI calculators are not 100% accurate because of the differences between people's bodies (e.g., such a calculator would indicate that Michael Jordan was obese even though, in reality, his BMI is probably in one of the best categories that exists), I'm excited because, for the first time, I'm not obese. According to the CDC, 26.5% of people in Illinois are obese. Today, I'm proud to say that I'm not one of them, and I hope that I never am again.
Sorry for the short post. I'm going to go celebrate this news by making some eggs. :)
Besito,
A
Great job! Proud of you!
