Things are going pretty good.... but busy. I have been quite busy lately.



My shoulder is still hurting and I am still unable to run. (if you didn't hear about my injury, you can read about it on my running blog http://blog.262quest.com/2008/06/down-for-count.ht ml ) I am hoping to be back running soon as I am really missing it.



I am down a total of 95 lbs since the beginning of my journey, and am in the healthy range for my height/weight according to the all knowing govt but will be happy when the skin has shrunk down to meet my current size.



Wish I had more time to hang out,



Tim

I know I haven't been around in quite some time, but I have been blogging along and using Twitter a lot.



I wanted to let you all know that I was contacted and given an opportunity to give away a free download of the movie

"Super Size Me" http://bit.ly/supersizeme



You can enter on my blog below and I will be giving it away later this week.



Good Luck!!

no question there, when it is time it will come out

yea, they said 3-6 months it could come out, or I could leave it in there if I wanted to. I say - take it out!

They had to put a pretty long pin in since it was snapped in two. (or three - according to what my wife said the emergency room dr said) No airport travel for me without complications for the next 3-6 months.

Thanks all for the kind words, well wishes, thoughts, and mostly prayers.

Yea, that is my plan right now. I will be one of very few with a time-group 1A and a chip that is actually walking. I will be able to see and experience the race in ways I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

I personally use www.runningahead.com and love it - been using it for over a year. I have freed up some server space since I won't be logging any run for a short time

Thanks for all the well wishes - seeing the Ortho this afternoon - counting on him telling me I will be completely healed in a week

LW: (actually two weeks ago) 167

Hey all - haven't been around much at all lately I know. Life has been really busy, but I have been keeping to my running and eating right. I haven't been dropping weight, but have been holding steady.



Now, to the subject matter. I have fallen.... I actually fell during my last 5k race, this past Saturday. I won't go into all of it here since I have already typed it all up once.... and just can't bring myself to type it all again.... with one hand.



Read it all here >> blog.262quest.com/2008/06/down-for-count.html

Sorry to hear that - I hope you will be back soon. I know too well about wanting to run and not being able too.

It's party time Fred - celebrate with a 12 mile run!

Let's hear it for Fred! WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

I am completely happy with where I am now. It is below my first goal, but not quite to my latest goal. My latest goal (158) is only based on being able to say I lost 100 lbs, not because I need to - so purely for bragging rights.



My goals are more revolving around toning up and losing the gut. I really don't think I have much fat left, I think the gut, and other places are more because my skin has not shrunk enough yet. The caliper says 14.8 bf. It gets better all the time, but I understand this part can take longer than the actual weight loss. I know I have some fat left and that is why I still want to keep focused. I just don't know if my body will ever get below 165, I think it is quite happy here

Will do

I have only played the Wii one time and yea, the boxing was hard from what I remember.



Nope, never been a teacher..... other than Sunday School

No, that is fine. I was just unsure. I know many people like you are talking about as well. I did get to where I was previously by making excuses, but I wouldn't have made it to where I am today if I were still making those excuses.



The article mainly hit home for me because I am in the technology field, and when I did get into the field my problem got worse. We do tend to make excuses, and for many years I used the desk job as an excuse. What the gist of the article was was to say that we need to recognize these situations and do everything we can to counteract it.



Thanks -

Stand Up Bean - I do understand, however my article is just basically saying that there are known contributing factors and we have to realize that and counteract them.



Jillian - I am not sure how to take your post - if it is a slam on me or not. Not sure if you are talking about me when you say:



Hmmmm

That is so true - more parents need to tell their kids to go outside!







I am happy to take the blame Now if I could only come up with something that would make someone want to use it instead of exercising.... most people would rather exercise than use anything I have developed

Yea, I know I haven't been around much lately - been busy working in technology...

wtg Fred!
