October 6: 198.8

We won! We won! We won! We won!

How in the world did I drop almost 4 pounds in a day?
-- I ran more than I ever have in a day. 3 sets of 5ks.
-- I ate reasonably. Quiche, leftover veggie fajitas, and twice baked potato.
-- I took a hot bath last night. Thanks, Aaron Griffin!
-- I slept not so well.

And, sure, is this water? Sure! Does that matter? Not to the bet.

In the last few months, I have:
-- Run. OMG, the running. I've set a couple of new personal records, both speed and distance in a day.
-- Skipped meals, primarily Thursday night dinner so I could afford to treats at Thursday night games.
-- Eaten smaller meals.
-- Learned how to sleep while hungry.

There are many people to thank, who have spurred me on, debated with me, or -- in the most important case -- provided continual and never ending love and support.

Let's start with: Dianne Harris.

Other people who I know have helped: Aaron Griffin, Tony Lower-Basch, Misha B, George Austin, Todd Sprang, Robert Bohl, Adam D, Gretchen S., Adam Dray.

Assuredly others!

I'm planning to have a more introspective post later on the effects this has had on me. But, yes: We Won.
