As of yesterday, and confirmed today on the fancy scale at the gym, I've officially lost 20 pounds! It took me a little over 2 months, as the new Washington Sports Club in Columbia Heights opened on June 1, and I've been going religiously since then. I also attribute the weight loss to a low-fat, high-fiber diet, and a steady consumption of Subway sandwiches, just like that guy Jared. 

To celebrate, I had a Kit Kat bar tonight - I didn't want to go crazy because I have to lose 2 more pounds to reach my goal weight. I don't want to go any lower than that, or I'll be venturing into Karen Carpenter territory. After that, I hope to keep working out at the gym, and become a pumped-up freak, perhaps with a physique along the lines of my namesake, the real Mr. T. Just kidding! I really just want to lower my blood pressure and possibly extend my lifespan a little bit. Now I have to go clothes shopping, ugh. I should have had my brother take me shopping in New York when I was up there last weekend.
