Today I did my monthly weigh in and I was ... 186.5.

Not too bad. Even though I failed in my goal, I succeeded as much as possible without actually achieving my goal.

1. I got extremely sick for about a week. During this week, I did not run. I envisioned I would be running 3 miles per day by now, but I am still at 2 (2.5 if I eat my Wheaties). Today I am going to give it 120% and try to run 3 miles, and keep it up for the rest of March.
2. I got extremely drunk several days, including my birthday. I gain a lot of weight when I drink. I have not kept true to my "no getting drunk" promise.
3. I have been drinking a lot of Red Bull. The sugary kind. That should contribute as well.

My goal for April 1st must be 175 lbs, because my original goal set in January was to be at 175 by April 1st. I don't think I'm going to make it but I think it's going to be close. I'm going to renew my no-drinking and no-caffeine promise to myself today and run like a madman.

Below the fold: biopsy results.
