50 and counting!

Ok, so at the end of the year (2008) My doctor recommended that I start a diet. This was due to some concerning levels of Cholesterol. I was not thrilled about the idea, and besides almost all the dudes I know are much larger fellas that lil’ old me.
With a bit of convincing from my wife, I decided to start on Jan 1, 2009.
As of today, my Cholesterol is at the low end of normal (no crappy pharmaceuticals needed) and I’ve shedded over 50 lbs (I’m now at a staggering 164lbs)
Although weight-loss was not the goal of the diet, it sure is a nice consequence. I’m wearing sizes I haven’t since high school.
I still have about 6 weeks to go on the prescribed diet, and then another 4 weeks of transition from diet to normal life, but I felt a real sense of achievement with the blood test results and I had to share!
(although my blood pressure shot through the roof earlier today :P )
