As I've been describing, my weight has gone steadily down since April, when I started training hard. Even then, it was significantly down from my norm of about 132, which I maintained for at least ten years until I had surgery last year.
Prior to April, I seemed to stabilize at 125. At the doctor's office on Tuesday, it was 119.
My doctor, alarmed, examined me and asked me a bunch of questions. He took a bunch of blood and I will get the results tomorrow. It could be a hyper-active thyroid but my doctor doesn't think it's anything. He just thinks I'm not eating enough relative to the number of calories I'm burning.
He instructed me, in no uncertain terms, to gain weight. He said I would never be able to complete the Alyn Ride at my current weight (and I totally agree). He told me to eat a pint of ice cream every day. Have a couple of scoops of peanut butter. You get the picture.
Ever since, I have been eating or snacking virtually all day. The first thing I did was buy a box of Oreos. Then I had a hamburger and fries for lunch and ate both sides of the bun. Bag of potato chips for afternoon snack. Can of Coke.
It isn't easy but I'm just following doctor's orders.
