Yeah, yeah... I know.

Way too much time has past since I last posted any gym activity, and I feel like I've let myself down by neglecting this blog. But, rather than feel disappointed, I'm just going to catch up on some things.

I've been to the gym over the past few weeks, but not as many times as I would like. School has just been eating up so much of my time. I guess that's good, though, since it is my job. The good news is that I've been able to go down one more belt hole, so now I am probably less than a 32 inch waist now. It does feel good.

I had my doctor's visit today, and I'm doing pretty well. All of the testing resulted in great things (the doctor used the word "perfect" a few times) except for my newest "disease", as my doctor put it (somewhat tongue-in-cheek): I have a vitamin D deficiency. So, now, when I take my Lipitor, I have to pop yet one more pill. I guess it could be much worse. My glucose is higher than it should be, but he thinks the vitamin D could easily help bring that down. All in all -- I'm quite healthy. My new blood levels are on this page.

Last weekend, we went to Ponte Vedra to visit some old friends, the rabbi and his family I used to live with in Lakeland. We had the chance to spend Sukkot together, and I enjoyed a beautiful Conservative synagogue service. I missed that so much. I missed the music, the prayers, the entire liturgy. Most of all, I missed the family we went to see. It had been about 7 years since we had seen each other, and I don't want to leave that much time between visits again.

So, that's the deal. I promise I'll be better with my blogging. :-)
