Illness
Accursed illness! Somehow I’ve been knocked out for two weeks or more, thanks to this nasty cold/flu/ebola that has me in its grip. Today I felt well enough to try a mode of exercise peculiar to downtown environments: the stairs. Our office building only has thirty-three floors, so scaling up and descending down all of them is not a terrific challenge. But the feeling afterward is wonderful. After being sick, being still, being cooped up in hopes of recovery, nothing compares to exercising at long last.
My weight has dropped to 176 lbs., although I seem to fluctuate up two, down three, etc. Dad speaks of supplementing my wardrobe of suits this January… I need more time to slim down to the (impossible?) target weight of 150 lbs. At least now a little exercise will help get closer.
