Since I really cannot go any faster or longer on the treadmill, my only other option available to me is to start raising elevation on the machine. As far as I can tell, my knees can stand having 1 more degree of elevation added. Or they've been holding up for the past 2 days. I think I've just found another way of adding adding challenge to my exercise.

I started playing World of Warcraft again, if only to get the new holiday pets (Creepy Crate), and another yearly effort of getting a holiday mount for my main character.
Technically with today's weight-in, I'm below 25 BMI again (with me only being 5'9"). I've also lost 160 pounds. However, with me still suffering the residual side effect of percocet, I'm not sure what number I should be looking at.
Found this cat video over @ Cute Overload
Very appropriate for this time of the year.

Day 446 - More Clothing Purchase Year 2
I don't like buying clothing. For one thing, I almost never find what I'm looking for, and what I'm looking isn't all that exotic. With the cloth switching coming, I figure it's time to get clothings that fits better. I've already taken cared of the pants last week, this week, I tried to address some of the other area.
I last bought newer underwear back when I'm wear waist size 40 and shirt size L. I've since shrunk beyond those sizes. So instead of fighting parking at the mall and getting into Nordstrom, I went to Nordstrom Rack across the street at the strip mall. We'll see how they fit.
In terms of T-Shirts with pocket, once again, I was looking for darker colored shirt with pocket. The only store that I know that reliably stock those are Old Navy. Unfortunately, I only found 3 shirts. Well, it beats zero.
The last thing I bought while looking for long sleeve shirts with pocket at Wal-Mart & Target. Both places' didn't have what I want, but I was able to pick up 2 pair of sweat pants for home use. It's getting cold enough that shorts at home isn't practical.
I still cannot tell whether my vision is improving or not. We'll see in 4 days.

Day 445 - Breaking Out Long Sleeves
Today is the last nominal week of October, and this year's Santa Ana wind driven heat has been a great disappointment. At least the weather feels cooler than last year. I usually switch to long sleeves shirts at the start of November, and today, I'm wearing my Friday casual pocket t-shirt, but wearing a hoodie sweatshirt due to the weather. The hoodie took cared of two problem at once, warm my body, and cover my head.
Last weekend, I decided even the size 36 pants weren't doing its job, so I broke down and bought 2 pairs of size 34 from Costco. It's been so long since I actually wear correct size pants, it's difficult for me to describe the sensation. I think size 34 is my limit, since that's about the size of my hip bones.
On the vision front, still no dramatic improvement.

Day 444 - Look At That Number
The desk pushups that I did 2 days ago at the support meeting is currently making itself felt. Both of my bicep muscles are quit sore, letting me know that the pace and the amount that I did probably exceeds my current limit.
I had my second follow up yesterday. While the doctor was happy with the rate of the healing my corneas have achieve, we're both still frustrated with the recovery of my actual vision. Today one of my co-worker who have similar procedures done did say that it could take up to a week for full vision recovery. Tomorrow will be a full week, and I doubt I'll get my vision back.

Day 443 - Breaking out the Heater
Not wanting to spend another cold night sleeping, I plug in the space heater and let it run in my room while I sleep. It make sleeping a whole lot easier.
Today is also the first day back in the office. As far as I can tell, my eyes still hasn't adjusted enough to take the florescent light tubes that the office uses. I'll ask about that on my follow up today.

Day 442 - Adding New Exercise Routine Fails
Two days ago, I decided to add sit-up as part of exercise routine. I did about 15 of them, and I'm not even trying very hard. Today, the results are in, I'm not ready for even that amount. I guess I'll try them again, only take it even more slowly.
I don't quit remember what the temperature back last year around this time was, but it has come to a point where I'm ready to change to winter clothing and break out the heater.
Inspired by a post from Erin, here's something similar. A comparison between a year ago and recently.

My vision hasn't improved to 20/20 yet, but it's well enough that I can drive safely. Just don't ask me to go anywhere I haven't been before. The doctor actually suspend my use of both percocet and the numbing eye-drop. What I have to take instead is Prenisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension. Quit a mouthful, but it's basically a steroid based ophthalmic solution design to help assist my current healing and reduce swelling. The minus side is that I have to take it every 4 waking hours.
