I started a program I called "Minisize Me" which was geared toward losing weight by not dining out as much, eating better and exercising more. I can't believe it, but I started this over TWO YEARS ago, and a knee injury, a hip injury and nine months spent finishing our basement threw me off track. I'm back at it though, and here's the update - I am down 18 pounds from the start of the year (from 195 to 177) and have been sticking with it very well. My hip is a non-issue now, and my knees are doing well, though they require a lot of looking after. My goal is to get down to 155 lbs this year, preferably by the time we do the 24 Hours Of Boulder in October.
I used to say the secret to weight loss was 'eat a salad and run a mile.' I've modified that to 'eat a salad, run a mile and drink a glass of water.' Staying appropriately hydrated is the key to a lot of things - digestion, endurance, and weight loss. Replace soda and alcohol with water and it's amazing how quickly the weight slides off.
I also realized that I haven't updated this blog for over a year, so I will make more of an effort to keep up on the personal side as well as the political side of events.
That's it for now...

Welcome back bloggerbro! Ya, I consciously need to hydrate now that I'm in Vegas. Almost forcefully until I get used to it.
