Woot!

I managed to put myself into an unusually good mood this morning.

Before I explain, allow me to provide some background.

About a year-and-a-half ago, I managed to put myself in the hospital with a very uncomfortable infection in my leg. When I was admitted, they did all the usual testing of vital signs. when they weighed me, things were a bit... embarrassing. I was too heavy to weigh on their normal scales. They had to put me on an equipment scale. First, I did not know hospitals had equipment scales. Second, how heavy does one have to be in order to be reclassified from "patient" to "equpiment?" My weight came in at 375 pounds. ouch.

Well, a year later, I finally get around to enrolling in a fitness class on campus. I have been spending close to an hour a day, Monday through Friday, in the gym.

Now that the background is out of the way, here is the big news:

This morning, for the first time since my hospital visit, I weighed myself.

322 pounds.

I cannot imagine that I lost much weight between my hospital visit and beginning my workouts. My activities would not exactly be classified as "active." So, i have lost about fifty pounds since I started the workouts around the first of the year.

My goal for the end of the quarter is to be below 300.

As the post title says: "Woot!"
