Present Day

This brings us to present day. It is January 3, 2010, and I have lost a total of 110 pounds. I feel a great deal better. However, the fact remains that I have a great deal of weight to lose. My blood pressure is normal and my blood sugars and cholesterol are normal. I try to workout at least four days per week and do a minimum of 1.5 miles on a Cybex Arc-trainer. My energy level is through the roof and I seem to have a great deal more confidence. Weight loss has also accelerated my hair loss. :( My ex-wife says, new hair grows when one falls out. Okay, but it seems to be growing everywhere but on my head. I mean do I really need hair on and in my ears. WTH? I remember seeing old men and wondering, how did he get hair all around his ears. In addition, I wondered why he did not trim it; can he not see the forest growing around his ears? Therefore, now I know where the ear hair comes from… father time. However, I will trim mine and not allow the forest to flourish. :)

  1. Congratulations! You may have a ways to go but you can look back at the road you have traveled so far and tell yourself "Look what I have accomplished. I CAN do this. I have the ability and will power to conquer whatever lies before me." Way to go Todd!

  4. Thank you Lisa. A talent for writing? That makes me laugh because everything I write I feel so inadequate! Thanks again and it is great to be getting back to the guy I was when I met Veronica!
