NSVs and Other irons in the fire...
Good Morning, Obesity Help!:
It has been a busy (as well as cold and short) February. March came in like a lion, as well. I ran the Washington Heights 5K yesterday. Wow, I never thought there were so many hills in Manhattan. I came home and checked my time. I ran an 11:02 pace per mile, a personal best. Later in the day, I received a tweet that the scoring and timing were updated. My new pace is now 11:05 per hour. Still a personal best!
The surgeon rescheduled my appointment from this Wednesday to next Friday. No problem. I can deal with that. My current weight is 198 pounds, down 32 pounds from my last appointment. Being that I am at the 18 month post-surgery mile marker, that is great. I have gained 2.7 pounds since December of 2014, but that's natural for a weight bump. Especially since I have been losing weight from the date of surgery. (and my surgeon wanted to see me gain some weight 
).
In February, I recieved an email from Cathy Wilson from OH, wanting to know about my weight-loss surgery journey. I gave her a lot of data about myself, and my journey. I have updated my picture to reflect my current weight. and I hope to see it in a future blog post from her.
I also wanted to remind you that I have been on SUNY Downstate's Cable Access show, Health Center. They can be seen here. The episodes are names "Examining Obesity" and "Weight Loss Surgery, Part 1 and Part 2". the link will take you to the main Health Center iTunes page. Just scroll down until you find those programs.
That is all!
Thank you,
Don
