To Disagree Agreeably

March 10, 2009

Our company just wrapped up our second annual company retreat out in Angelfire, NM. We normally take three days and look at our company introspectively from all facets of the business.

Today marks the two year anniversary of my gastric bypass ROUX-en-Y procedure. I have stayed within 10-20 pounds of my lightest weight since hitting it over two and a half years ago. At my lowest I was 190 and this morning I weighed in at 205. I’ve recently gotten up to 212 [...]
