How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey, guys. I'm still hanging in there, but still not feeling well, and not going to the gym or running. I honestly didn't picture spending Christmas this way, last weekend I was picturing myself at the gym today and running tomorrow. The way I still feel, 3 days after my first symptoms, I'm not running tomorrow for my life.

I am healthy overall though. My RHR was back to normal this morning, and at least I'm not SICK (i.e., not throwing up or anything, don't have a fever to the point of staying in bed).

Today my boss took our department to lunch, and I actually said aloud that I would be (as opposed to thinking about) doing a marathon on May 3. It just sort of came out. I'm not financially committed yet, but it would appear that mentally I'm committed. Or should be committed.

So that's where I'm at. Merry Christmas, everyone.
