Sorry I haven't been keeping you all updated. I know youse have been anxiously waiting same with bated breath.

I dropped 5 more pounds and hit an impasse. Don't worry, there wasn't much damage.

I struggled with my exercise program due to a slowly deteriorating lower spine caused by a condition known as Icandothat (a common affliction of young males which only manifests itself at midlife; it's also known to afflict middle aged males who imbibe) which is resulting in pressure on the sciatic nerves.

Nonetheless, I dauntingly ramped up my exercise program one week ago and immediately dropped an additional three pounds. It was tough, but I now only bring up one beer from the basement fridge at a time.

I don't know if I can keep up this rigorous regimen, but it does seem to actulally help with my leg pain, especially if I do a lot of reps.
