Results

So I should preface this -- I'm not a fat dude.  I'm not a skinny dude.  I've been at different points in my life called "overweight" by the incredibly mean Wii Fit trainer.  But just as many times I've been called skinny.  I'm a very normal shaped dude.  So I'm not really in crisis mode as far as weight loss goes.

That said, I started running and started eating better and have seen results.  I've lost 10 pounds in the last 3 months, 6 of which I've lost since Jan 1.  I truly have discovered the miracle of weight loss:  Eat less and exercise.  Who knew?

I'm not trying to belittle anyone else's struggle but dammit I'm proud of my results, and I know that by having this goal of running the Ragnar I'm going to see more and more results.  But I'll be honest, being in better shape feels like an added bonus, and that's awesome.  I went into this not wanting to lose weight or get in shape -- I went into it because I want that finisher medal.

Said Ragnar finishing medal has a built-in bottle opener.  Another added bonus.
