It seems like lately I’ve lost some weight. I have had a couple of people comment on it and I have had a few pictures come back lately where even I must acknowledge it. So my weight loss begs the question, “what did I do right?”


It’s a loaded one. Could it have been my recent subway kick where I’ve been feasting Jared Fogle style on low fat subs. Could it have been when I gave up soda for a couple of months? I finally went back, but to strictly diet soda. Maybe that helped, since when I drink soda (diet or otherwise) I eat a lot less. Maybe it is the fact that I’ve been exercising like a fiend. Yet that doesn’t help either, because I started out running, then became an elliptical machine maniac and then moved on to some crazy weight training routine.


I guess my problem is I lack focus, because one, all or some off these things obviously worked, but how do I know what to keep up with? I probably shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Which is probably the dumbest of expressions ever added to the human vernacular. Ever since I got tossed off of “Bobbie” in the New Mexican mountains, I doubt I’ll get close enough to a horse again to see its mouth. Nothing like seeing your life flash before you to make you realize you don’t want to be Christopher Reeves, minus the loving wife and millions in residuals from “Superman III”, but that is another story all together.
