Who Ate My Blog? — From 632 lbs to my ideal weight. I've lost 293 lbs so far!

Quickie

by Stephen Vinson on January 27, 2012

Last night’s sleep was not good. I woke up twice in the middle of the night. As a result, I will be a zombie today. B – R – A – I – N – S….

My whole fatigue issue might be sleep related.

Today, I will call around and get pricing info for sleep studies… I looked at the pre existing insurance program that I told you about yesterday, and it’s not such a great deal. The premium is $225ish a month with a yearly deductible of $2000. A sleep study and blood work will be around $2000 (worst case) soooo, I’ll just save up the necessary money instead of throwing it away on premiums. I know I don’t have coverage for emergencies, but for the moment I’m willing to take that risk.

I could cry and say “woe is me”, but that doesn’t pay the bills. It’s time for action on my part. I’m gonna make it happen.

This is just a quick post reporting that I slept well last night and ran a mile this morning. I wanted to run more, but am still feeling blah. So, one mile is better than no miles. I’m planning on running two in the morning. I didn’t eat perfectly yesterday, but better than I had [...]

I Am No Longer The Biggest Person In The Room

by Stephen Vinson January 23, 2012

Sonthe met up with me today for a brisk two mile walk. During our walk we talked about how I am no longer the biggest person in the room. Sonthe said since she’s worked with me, she’s more aware of larger people out in public. The first question she asks herself when she sees a [...]
