Double Digits

I’ve only been at this diet thing for just short of seven weeks, but it seems like forever since I enjoyed the drop to 225.4. OK, so it was March 28 when that happened, but the three weeks since have had me spending more time above that milestone than at it.

Well, yesterday (and again today) finally found me at 224.2, which is a new milestone in that I’ve finally lowered myself into double-digit weight loss. I’m down 10.6 pounds from the 234.8 I tipped the scale at the start of my first phase March 1.

I’m not going to crow about it too loudly, because odds are the way I fluctuate the next couple weeks will find me back up three pounds than down one then up two then down none then up one-half then down two-thirds, but hopefully by the time the finish line arrives May 1 if I’m not at my goal of 220 I’ll be close.

Then from there I’ll be aiming for 215 by June 6.

Will Campbell arrived in town via the maternity ward at Good Sam Hospital way back in OneNineSixFour and has never stopped calling Los Angeles home. Presently he lives in Silver Lake with his wife Susan, their cat Rocky, dogs Terra and Hazel, and a red-eared slider turtle named Mater. Blogging since 2001, Will's web endeavors extend back to 1995 with laonstage.com, a comprehensive theater site that was well received but ever-short on capital (or a business model). The pinnacle of his online success (which speaks volumes) arrived in 1997, when much to his surprise, a hobby site he'd built called VisuaL.A. was named "best website" in Los Angeles magazine's annual "Best of L.A." issue. He enjoys experiencing (and writing about) pretty much anything creative, explorational and/or adventurous, loves his ebike, is a better tennis player than he is horr golfer, and a lover of all creatures great and small -- emphasis on "all."
