Plugging Away

So I've been good the past few weeks. I've either run or gone lifting at least 4 times a week. Plus, Tina and I have started the early stages of building a deck which means that we've spent about 15-20 hours in our backyard digging holes. Frustrating, since we're still less than halfway done, but a great workout.

Another piece of sort of good news is I finally scheduled my shoulder surgery. I visited the shoulder specialist for the Baltimore Orioles. I was actually very impressed. You always want your surgeon to be confident. Preferably, to the point of slight arrogance....but definitely not too arrogant. The guy I saw has the perfect balance. Arrogant enough to just know that he'll fix the problem, but good enough to talk me through all the details. In any case, the surgery is scheduled for October 25th, so that is the point at which we need to finish building the deck.

The weird thing lately has been my weight. Its been all over the place. My last 5 weigh-ins have been.....198, 204, 201, 202, 196. So what's my real weight?
