I enjoyed the results of my efforts this week... the direction of my weight has reversed course. After briefly landing about 230 lbs, I am now safely below that threshold at 224 lbs. There is one way that people lose lots of weight and gain it back. And that way involves making no changes when one is steering off target. Although I have not made the most effective course correction by reducing my caloric intake, I have managed to successfully mount a course correction by exercising a bit more than normal. Yesterday, I worked out for two 90 minute sessions before taking a long circuitous 6 mile walk to meet my family in downtown Chicago. Upon return home, I spent another 90 minutes on the elliptical machine. As I have said many times before, please don't tell me that I am nuts. I know it.

Imagine the need to change course if piloting an aircraft carrier. It does not happen quickly. When one is gaining weight, it takes a lot of focused effort to change direction.

| In between sessions on the elliptical machine, I managed to find the time to take 6.39 mile walk to meet my family in downtown Chicago. As you can see I dd not take the shortest route available to me. |
