Myrtle Beach

Decided to forego returning to the beach for a few weeks.
Myrtle will still be there.
I can make great money up here in NY.
Walking club is taking off. I actually think I LIKE walking again.
I hope to be running soon.
I thought I would be ready for the Komen half marathon in October @ SixFlags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. I am in NO WAY ready for that.
My run/walk sprints have slowed significantly.
Trying a new route tomorrow.
I'll map it over at mapmyrun.com.

Finally

Finally got through to the Pulmonologists office, his Bklyn office anyhow.
His other office number would ring off the hook.
SOMETIMES I would get the service but they can only tell me what office hours they have.
Tuesday appt to get final results form the two sleep studies along with an order for CPAP machine I suppose.
I just need the damned letter/evaluation for my insurance.
He suggested PFT's the last visit months ago.
What a sham.
I still think he and the sleep lab owner/Dr. are either related or friends.

Called the surgeons office to make a psych appt. The Psychologist no longer goes to their group to see patients.
ANOTHER roadblock.
Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something?

I am dropping lbs very quickly. So quickly in fact that I ask Marty to test the scale. Nope, it is correct.

WTF? I am eating basically what I always have ( I never ate poorly..just too big of a portion).
I am exercising my ass off though....but nothing too crazy.

The only difference with this attempt and the last five or ten are:
My back, although it hurts, is not a constant 10+. It actually hovers around a 3-4-5 on most days.
My foot (R) and heel pain still flare up but only in the O R.
I am trying to get more sleep.

If anyone has a clue as to why weight is coming off now...I'd be interested.

Oh, the biggest changes are I am utilizing MANY tools in this weight loss attempt.
1} Nike+ Ipod sensor
2} Omron Pedometer
3} Polar F11 HRM
4} Uploading and tracking on all of the above websites
5} Spreadsheets tracking all data
6} Food diaries
7} Frequency
They do get overwhelming when I think about all of them...but when I am hooked up I actually like the data tracking.
