By the way . . . still going at it . . . down to 155 lbs -- my goal is about 145 ish (I think . . . maybe I said something else way back in January). But I think 145 or 142 to 145 sounds healthy.

Stepped on the scale yesterday and, Y-I-K-E-S . . . . . 175 point 2 pounds! Get thee to 24 hours fitness ( . . . uh, maybe 36 hour fitness?).
