The Weighting Game

With the weather finally showing signs of Spring, I took some time to assess the weight-gain damage I inflicted upon myself this winter. It’s not good.

I topped out at 2 pounds higher than my former record, so I guess I set a new maximum weight record this winter. Yay?

I exceeded by 2 pounds my former maximum weight,

which is 5 pounds more than I like to gain in winter,

which is 5 pounds more than I usually weigh during the summer,

which is 5 pounds more than the weight at which I start to feel like I’m making progress at losing weight,

which is 5 pounds more than when I lost a lot of weight while on the Atkins Diet a few years back,

which is 5 pounds more than a weight at which I could really feel good about myself,

which is 5 pounds more than a weight at which I could probably run distances comfortably and pain-free again,

which is 5 pounds more than a weight where I would start to look really emaciated.

Tom Petty was right. The weighting is the hardest part.
