Stomach Flu

So, I didn't go Wed-Sat. of last week because I had a hellacious stomach flu. I got on the scale this morning at the YMCA, and I weighed 408.7 lbs. I weighed 445 lbs. on Jan. 5, 2012.

37 lbs. in 53 days, but I expect some of that to come back as I recover from the stomach flu's purging.

I also swam 6 lengths of the pool today instead of the normal four. I'm feeling good. I can get an arm into each side of my church suit pants, with the belt on.

The recent article in Harpers about prolonged fasting has me intrigued.
