I lost 10-lbs in one week!
OK...I am a happy, thinner boy. I am started to shed the winter weight (aka: depression weight) I had put on over the last 3-months. CRAP...it is way harder and less fun to lose weight than it is to gain weight.
It seems the way I was eating - although perhaps okay when training 10-13 times a week (which I was doing at one point before burning-out and hurting myself) - does not work when you suddenly return to a sedentary (aka: convalescent) state.
SO...ten pounds down (as of yesterday I was at 211 lbs down from the ghastly 221 lbs I had unofficially hit at the beginning of last week) in just five (5) days!!! YES...I know it's lots and rash...but a) I lose weight just as fast as I gain it and b) I am in a hurry -- I have no patience (yes...I am add/ocd/you-name-it...but I already know that).
And, my back injury is now about 80-90% improved. My chiropractor has gone from seriously concerned to thrilled at my miraculous turn-around. She is now saying its okay to start slowly training and working out again. SO...I am going to go swim NOW. This has the least impact and/or strain on my lower back. I am going to recover and rebuild and be even better than before!
YES!
