my weight

I spelled that right. I'm talking about my weight not a long wait. When I was home over the summer I packed on some weight. When I got home I was around 206 lbs. By the time we left to come back to Korea I was at at least 230 lbs (106.25 kg) if not a couple more pounds.

Side note: Is that a testimonial to the state of the American food industry? Or is it a testimonial about my eating habits? Probably a little bit of both. I totally binged while home and the food I binged on was probably not the most healthy for me.

Proceeding... one crazy thing about being 6'6" is that I can hide 20 to 25 lbs okay. But my wife did tell me at one point "you are looking a little pudgy." So I decided I wanted to try to take off some of that weight. I can't say that I did a whole lot other than try not to eat as much crap (ice cream, sweets, and such) as i normally do. Yesterday I got on the scale an weighed in at about 96 kg (211.65 lbs). I was pretty pumped about that. Today it was 97kg (213.85 kg). Another crazy thing about being 6'6" is that you can fluctuate like 4 pounds a day.

All that to say I lost some weight and am excited about that. Ideally I'd like for hang around 210 lbs. Now if only I could get in shape...Yes, that means I lost like 20 lbs. And yes, I know my feet don't fit on the kiddie scale.
