So Close......

The good news is that I weighed in at 204 at the gym on Friday. Within 1 pound of the elusive 203 goal. In fact, if I had cheated, I could cliam victory right now. I weighed in at 203.8 before my run, and 202.4 afterwards. However, I always consider my before workout weight as my offical weight.

I also got my blood work back. As usual, my LDL was pretty bad. Fortunately, everything else looked great. The LDL result was a 188, though. A healthy number is uder 130, a medium risk number is under 160, a high risk number is under 180, and anything above is super high risk; so I'm not in great shape here. The doc, of course, wanted to put me on drugs, but I got him to give me 6 months to lower that number. What that means to me is that I will need to lose a few more pound. So, after I hit 203 and celebrate it, I will be setting a new goal. I promised the doc 10-15 since our last visit at which I weighed in at 208, so the likely target will be 195. However, I really want to make sure that I celebrate hitting my 203 goal when it happens instead of just moving on to my next goal.
