Weight Loss plan!

Hmm.. So after reading the report of my sleep study, my family doctor says I need to lose some weight -- he thinks that being overweight makes it harder to get a good night's sleep, since having a fat neck might cause all the problems with me not getting enough air and hence leads to all these trouble during sleep.

"So fine," I asked, "how much weight to I have to lose?"
"10 pounds", Dr Law quipped.
"Oh.. 10 pounds." I mumbled. "What is my optimal weight anyways?"
"Your BMI is on the high side.. Let's see.. I think you should be at 165lb, so for you," he gives me the once-over, "a minimum of 10 pounds."

Hmm.. So 165lb it is. I think my best yet is 155lb, but let's not set such a high goal yet. I wish to go to 165lb and keep it there first, because that will give my a BMI of 25, the upper-bound of the "optimal weight" catagory. So here, I tell you all. I'll try to get to 165lb in 2 months.

What I'll do is post my weight that I will measure every morning. To be a bit scientific.. I'll attempt to be consistant, and measure the weight after my morning crap, but before the morning shower.

Today: 180lb (fuck....)
