3 week results

For anyone in suspense, the dog managed to live through the caterpillar episode with no long term symptoms. By Monday night she was totally fine. She even did sprints with me yesterday.

I did a weigh in and measure this morning, the end of week 3. I'm quite pleased with the results. I'm down 4 pounds, 5.75% body fat, and 10.75 inches combined from my hips, waist, abdomen, arm, and thigh.

I was able to get ALL of my workouts and meals in this week also, despite having to work overtime at the beginning of the week.

On Wednesday I drove by the gym at lunchtime and there were a ton of emergency vehicles gathered outside, and all the people working out were gathered around the gym outside. I went in later and found out that a man had passed away while he was in the gym that afternoon. Its so terribly sad, one minute he was talking to someone on an elliptical trainer, and the next minute he was in convulsions on the floor. I was talking to someone else at work yesterday, this particular person was at the gym working out with the man when it happened. He said the final diagnosis was a brain aneurysm that killed him. He was only 51, and in relatively good health.

I think it made a lot of people around the base realize that life is short and you really don't know when something could happen to you. There have been a lot more people around work walking and working out at the gym since then. I hope that for some of them, the memory sticks and helps them to lead healthier lives, physically and spiritually. I also pray comfort and peace over his family in their grief.
