Hotter than a Middle Eastern Climate

According to my Taylor 7506 Digital Bathroom Scale (Consumer Reports’ “best bathroom scale” top pick) as of this morning’s weigh in, I sit at exactly 190 pounds. This works out to a BMI of 27.3, moving me from the ranks of the Obese to the merely Overweight in the last 3 months. In order to fall into a government approved healthy weight range (and avoid being sent to one of Obama’s Fat Camps/Death Panels), I either have to lose an additional 17 lbs, or grow an additional 5 inches (this solution might be preferable since it would give me a chance to fulfill my lifelong dream of dunking a basketball). Progress!
