What is this blog about?

What is this blog about? It started as a sort of journal about the journey I thought I was taking - one of weight loss. You see, my wife inspired me to finally change my ways, get off the couch and start working on being healthy. I'm selling it short, but that's the gist of it. In any case, the efforts I made to lose weight resulted in developing a love for fitness, and I've decided to carry on with it.

Here at last is my story. . .

The Big Slowdown (-2#)

Is it perception?  Is it reality?  I don't know.  I know that lately things seem to have been coming more difficultly and slowly.  It's hard to say whether that's reality or not.  My numbers aren't off that much, but I feel less confident each week that I've made "progress".  I think I need to change stuff up.  Time to make a plan - if only I had the time to pull one together.  Guess I'll just up the intensity in the interim.

So my left leg has really been hurting lately. Mostly above the knee in the back towards the inside of the thigh.  I think maybe it's a hamstring?  Self-diagnosis is not my thing - I inevitably have everything I read about.  Ciatica is another possibility, who knows.  It's really getting me down.  It doesn't get worse during or after a workout though; it actually feels a bit better.  Ipso facto, i'm not going to quit for now.  I'm going to keep an eye on that leg though, because it's more or less constantly hurting now.  I'm just too damn close to being done to let anything stand in my way.
