    RM - You're making me blush.

    I feel your pain.

    When Jeff & I started TE in 1998, I was around 140 pounds, *maybe* 145. Not thin, but not overly plump either. Fast forward 11 years and I topped out over 165 (not sure how high, though I recall seeing 167 more than once.)

    It's so so SO easy to put on weight under stress. I did it for years. Jeff & I didn't ride as much as we should have, ate too many meals out, too much convenience food... It really took it's toll.

    Last year I finally snapped and realized I couldn't let it continue. YOU are soooooo much ahead of me, because it only took you a year to realize you needed to change something. I let myself slide for a heckuva lot longer than that. Glad to hear you are back on track. I think you'll discover, as I did, that I'm actually MORE effective in my job than I was before, because I'm taking better care of myself. That plays out in my business life every day.
