Don't lose too much weight, tho. Consider some weight training in your routine;

I do some calisthenics and body weight exercises in addition to the running.

It's not an exaggeration to say that I am a different person. In so many ways not only what you see, it's very true.

Thanks. Over the winter I probably averaged 4 days per week, due to running indoors on a treadmill. Now that its warm and I can run outdoors its usually six days per week.

I guess it goes without saying that you thrilled the prez is considering a pardon for your ex-governor!

Thanks a lot NJ.
Oh boy I don't follow that stuff anymore, even for the entertainment value. Got
kind of disillusioned about all of it. I find it better to focus on other things these days.

anything's possible!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I did want to clarify one thing. I mentioned below about losing weight and that I'm now an avid runner. I just want to note that the weight didn't come off because of running. The running started after I had lost a lot of weight and was feeling good and wanting to get more physical.
My weight loss was 90% about diet. What I was eating and how often I was eating. Just wanted to pass that on because it was a revelation to me. I've discovered that there is nothing more important to your health than what you eat.
