Obligatory Self-Centered, Non-Political Weekend Post

All right, I don't really do a lot of bragging on this blog, but I have to mention what I consider to be one of my greatest accomplishments.

If you've read 105 Things About CD or one of the other posts where I've mentioned this, you know that I have a bit of a "weight problem." In 105 Things, I gave my weight as 210 pounds. That was last December. By the time I came home for summer vacation, I was actually up to about 215.

Now, as July comes to a close, I'm happy to report that, for the first time in several years, I weigh less than 200 pounds (1 pound less, to be exact). And I didn't do it using the Atkins diet or any of these other stupid fads. It's more like the "get off your lazy @ss and stop eating so freakin' much" diet (actually, I did use a specific plan. I don't feel like using more space right now, but let me know if you're interested in the details. It can work for just about anyone).

In any case, it feels great, and I've still got another month before I go back to school, so I can potentially lose even more. My goal weight is 190. I know that's still more than I should weigh at 5'7'', but it's a start.

Anyway, there's the self-centered post for this weekend. It may not have interested many of you, but it's not like other bloggers haven't written about their weight loss efforts. Heh.
