Game over

It greatly saddens me, but I am grappling with the difficult realization that I will not make the goal I had set of reaching 200 pounds by my birthday (March 17). I have been losing 5 pounds/month ever since late April, reaching 214 on Dec. 1, and was on target to make it. But this past weekend, I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning, reaching a new low of 209.5 ... and then, although I felt fine at the time, I developed a problem with the hamstring in my left leg. The back of that thigh has been tight since that time, preventing me from running, and my weight has begun to go back up. I hope to hold the line as well as possible, and get back to exercising as soon as I can, but know that if I rush it and try to run prematurely I could be looking at a very long period of healing.
