39.5 and Dunking -- some updates

So, it's been about 4 months since I posted to my blog... here's some updates:

• Sprained an ankle in November, and tried to avoid dunk practice/etc. for several weeks.
• Ate and drank too much over the holidays, and had my weight balloon to 236 pounds!
• Got a FitBit for Xmas, and have been using it religiously to tracking my progress back toward my weight and general fitness goals.
• Haven't attempted as many dunks in 2016, mainly because the practice rims at the facility I play at once/week were changed (and now have "no dunking" signs on all of the backboards)

Progress in 2016 so far:

• I've dropped 12 pounds in about 12 weeks!  (236 back down to 224)
• My vertical is coming back... I'd lost probably 4-5 inches from my peaks of last year, but I'm getting close to where I was.
• I'm only about 7 months from the big 4-0.  That is now my one and only goal for this year:  DUNK AT AGE 40.

I will try to post more frequent updates as I progress toward my 40th birthday.  I still haven't found too many people out there dunking in their 40's, which inspires me to keep going an be somewhat unique in my goal.
