Okay . . . Here's MEOWEE . . . back later to figure out the details.
So, here I go again, doing a wonderful job of maintaining this silly 215 pound number. I go down and then I go up and then we have an instant replay. March sounds like a good month to break the trend. A good month to go down and stay down.
On a suggestion by my doctor, the only thing I'm actually going to track and record this month is NET CARBS -- why? --- because my blood sugars are out of whack and because he thinks I'm being too obsessive about both the BGLs and the scale numbers. Do I agree? Probably not; but it's definitely worth a try.
March 2 revision -- who am I kidding. I'm a math nerd, it's impossible for me to count only one element so why try? I just won't tell the Doctor
