212

Not the boiling point of water (in Fahrenheit), but how much I weighed this morning. Maybe not a weight that would make most people happy, but if you're 6'9", then 212 is a nice weight.

I decided to try to lose some weight last spring in the hopes that it might reduce the pain associated with my bad back. I dropped about 35 pounds, basically by just eating less (I was, and still am, exercising regularly). It was surprisingly easy, and being thinner has really improved my happiness level:

• I have more energy
• Less back and hip pain
• Clothes fit better
• Look better
• Cars fit more comfortably

So yay.
