Bronchitis, mild Pneumonia, and some other assorted entertaining ailments that continued into my digestive system.<\/p>\n<p>Also over the past year I&#8217;ve been discovering a general intolerance to caffeine (on a large scale), corn syrup, and especially aspartame. <\/p>\n<p>My doctor started me on some digestive enzymes. I also have to admit, I&#8217;ve pretty much entirely kicked soda. (Moment of bittersweet sorrow)<\/p>\n<p>In January I was less than pleased to discover I&#8217;d hit 208 pounds. Probably the heaviest I&#8217;ve been ever. I&#8217;m now 5&#8217;8 (like my grandfather I seem to be shrinking with age)<\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;ve been taking off a pound or so from being sick and everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Today I was pleased to weigh in at <b>189.2<\/b> pounds. I haven&#8217;t been there since just after college.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been saying I wanted to lose 20-25 pounds for about 10 years. Well, 1.2 pounds more and I&#8217;ll have made it.<\/p>\n<p>Happy, Healthier Andrei!!!!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2502\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/15\/so-a-surprise-health-note\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2502\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/15\/so-a-surprise-health-note\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-2502\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/15\/so-a-surprise-health-note\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/15\/so-a-surprise-health-note\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I commented that February was the month I suffered the Black Death.
