One more thing to add...

I totally thought I had told everything but I forgot to say that I have lost nearly 13 pounds since being here on campus. My weigh-in for my physical was 213 lbs. As I have been doing PT and working out more and going to the YMCA with also eliminating sugar drinks and watching what I eat, I am now down to 200.5 lbs!! I am almost under 200 for the first time since senior year of varsity baseball. I am fitting more comfy in my pants and jeans, and even with my t-shirts. I could not believe it. I weighed myself today at the YMCA and was shocked. My ultimate goal is to be down to 175 before AmeriCorps ends. Guess if I keep trying I will be surely on my way. Do the math....losing 13 pounds in less than 4 weeks is equivalent to how many TOTAL lbs in 10 months? Too late for me to do that math...I will let you figure that one!
