Brief Health Update
So, after spending 30 of the last 45 days or so on the road, I'm finally at home for some time. I measured my weight and surprisingly enough, I did not gain weight even though I consumed at least 3000 calories worth of DQ blizzards when I was on-site at various jobs. That's a win in my book. So just for the record, I'm at 207 lbs now. That's good news. At this rate, by the time I go home, I think I'll be around 195-200 lbs, which leaves me about 5-10 lbs off my target of 190 lbs (~85 kg for the metrically inclined readers).
Even though it's only been about 10-12 lbs over the last 4 months, I think I definitely look better and clothes fit better. So that's good. I might consider changing the weight training regime to get better definition. It's just shades and hints of muscle now. I wonder how people can build muskles naturally, without supplements. That's worth looking into...

Saying Goodbye
Up till now, I have had the fortune to not have many loved ones pass away. My grand father passed away in a vehicle accident, I lost a basketball buddy to a hit and run and an army buddy died in college. In all cases, the news of their passing was sudden and shocking, I never got a chance to really say goodbye. By the time I knew, it was too late.
I have a friend who was diagnosed with cancer recently. The docs say he had 3 months to live. That clock started ticking in March. I called him to express my sympathy and hope for his recovery but it's a weird feeling, chatting to someone who knows he has only a limited time left. He is literally wasting away in front of everyone - he lost half his weight in 2 months and according to the doctors has only 30+ more days.
I told him to keep fighting and to keep living the way he wants to. But it's really weird to say stuff like 'Just in case I don't see you anymore...' or 'It's been great knowing you'. I wonder if I could have said things in a better manner...
In any case, my wishes and thoughts go out to him. I hope he proves all the experts wrong.
