Ketchup*

It seems we’ve missed a beat.  In fact, we may have missed several… depending on how many beats you can fit into a month and a half.  (measured in “beats per month”… or bpm)

Anyway, a lot has happened.  Really, this time.

Firstly, and not directly pertinent to the particularities of this blog, yet not wholly unrelated: I have a new job!  Or to be more accurate, I *will* have a new job soon… At any rate, I’ve left the comfortable confines of Per Se Group to move on to the wild and unpredictable frontier of Wheaton Academy, where I will attempt to teach history to students I’m hoping will be able to stay awake.  Can’t wait.

Other things you may have missed since I’ve last posted:

  • I (mostly) lost weight

  • I gained some weight

  • My eating habits have consistently deteriorated

  • I’ve kept up with working out pretty well, mostly biking

  • I haven’t run very much on account of knee pain

  • I’ve seen a doctor for knee pain

  • I’ve seen an orthopedic surgeon for knee pain

  • I’ve seen a “chiropractic physician” (specializing in sports injury) for knee pain

  • I am still experiencing knee pain when I run

  • I have less money than when I last

  • I’m currently up at Young Life camp (TimberwolfLake) with Kelly

… and I think that pretty much covers it… really, it’s mostly the job thing.

But since I missed so many consecutive weeks, I will now post all of my Fat Friday weights since my last weigh in.  Set faces to “nonplussed apathy”…

  • 5/13 – 216.4

  • 5/20 – 216.4

  • 5/27 – 214.2

  • 6/03 – 212.4

  • 6/10 – 214.4

  • 6/17 – 212.6

And today’s big number: 212.4 lbs

So I’m apparently back to where I started at the beginning of the month.  Not super encouraging.  We seem to be at a bit of a plateau.  Fortunately, I’m at Young Life camp where all the food is super healthy and staying extra nutritious should be… a piece of cake (see what I did there?)
