My "go on holiday" diet plan never fails. I dropped several kg in my week away (how many is hard to know in this heat)
If I can keep up a minimum of exercise to make my metabolism go and keep eating one meal a day I might finally hit my long held target of dropping below 80.

Of course. This place being so boring that there is no drinking to be done probably contributes too. But every cloud.

I don't think eating one meal a day is the best method to lose weight. Three small meals would be better.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Just got back from the gym after not going for an age. Feel great now but I can already tell I'll likely be crippled tomorrow. :showoff: :blush: -_-

80 km ride yesterday, the bike was rolling nice and silently.

I think I'm screwed. I'm supposed to start climbing Mt. Rainier on Monday week (9 days from now).

To test my ankle, I went to Kennesaw Mountain today. I went up the mountain 3 times, probably about 2000 ft of elevation gain. I gave up after that--my ankle was really hurting, and my hip flexor a bit as well (possibly because of a limp I developed as my ankle hurt). Going down was a motherfucker.

The first day on Rainier involves 4700 feet of elevation gain, with a 40-45 pack (I wasn't carrying weight today).

The one hope I may have is that I was wearing an ankle brace under a mountaineering boot today (I'm probably the first person going up and down that mountain in Georgia in July in an insulated mountaineering boot designed for glacier travel--but it is the most stabilizing footwear I have). The pain was really concentrated along the solid part of the brace. Maybe I'll do better if I ditch the brace and just tape the ankle or maybe even skip the tape as well and rely on the boot alone for support.

I'm also have this bump on the inside of my shin - the same one with the broken ankle - about 4 inches above the ankle. It predates the break by a couple months (when I sprained the same ankle is when I noticed it).

The orthopedic doctor x-rayed it and said nothing is wrong, and my primary care doctor said it is bone that healed "extra high" from a previous injury and nothing is wrong. Ok, they went to med school, but pain is really concentrated there as well.

It really seems to me that it might be a bad shin splint. Anyone had something like this?

I go back to the orthopedic doctor on Tuesday, and I'll ask him about this again.

I've lost 75 pounds since May. So easy I did it lying down.

That sounds really bad. Are you going to lose your foot or get on dialysis?

Been on dialysis for the last 2 months. Probably going to lose the toes.

:( Are you on a transplant list?

I have to say, though, that I have long considered you the languishite best suited for a wooden leg.  :P
