Buck Seventy Five...

As of yesterday it had been approximately 4 years or so since I'd tipped the scales at that amount. As of today, that's no longer true. Finally hit the goal weight I'd been striving towards since, well a long time ago. Since I back up my blog into a word doc it makes it real easy to do a find word and find entries about this kind of thing from forever ago, and this is what I managed to dig up. At my flight physical last December, approximately one year ago, I weighed in at 191. The previous December, in 2001, I was 201. From what I remember, my highest was somewhere around 205, I never got to 210. So here we are today, and slowly but surely the weight has come off. I've never really noticed, I can't even picture the way my body must have looked with thirty more pounds on it. People who haven't seen me in a long time tend to comment, but I always just thought they were trying to be nice. But thinking about it, thirty pounds is a lot. Interstingly enough, I don't think I'm done yet. One of the new aspects of the PFT for the AF is a waist measurement, and although I'm not sure how they do that, I do know there's an inch or two that can be lost there. I suppose everyone says that though. Now that I think about it though, I'm going to have to start adding some muscle to my arms, which isn't something I've been focusing on since OTS, but am getting ready to start. So maybe any more weight lost will be cancelled out by adding muscle. Not that that's a bad thing.

I was gonna post some more stuff, but this is kind of a neat thing I've been looking towards for a while and I figure it deserves a post all to itself.
