I posted this on another thread -- I can now see my rib cage again! OK, only when I suck in my breath -- but still! I haven't seen it in like forever. Good to know it's still there. :)

Also, since I started this diet, my fasting blood glucose level has gone from 103 to 79! My Hemoglobin A1C has gone from 6.0 to 5.6, and my blood pressure has gone from 159/95 to 127/73. :)

Today I went on close to a nine mile hike with my son and two other Boy Scouts and their fathers. I didn't even feel that bad today. Close but not quite! I am sore as heck and want to get to goal before doing that hike again! But I'm proud of myself and my son told me he was proud of me too! Made it sooo worth it.

When I was camping in the bush this past weekend all I could think was thank goodness I lost weight...I don't think I could have squatted and peed in the trees with such ease before. Sort of a NSV :)

HAHA! I think this is one of the best NSV's I've read! Thanks for the laugh (if not the visual) :) LOL

I ran up the steps the other day! I was in a hurry and just did it. Once I got to the top, it dawned on me that I had just run up the steps for the first time in more than 20 years!

I've also noticed that I don't need to grip the railing for dear life going down the steps anymore, either!

One more -- we went to an amusement park yesterday. In days past, I would abstain from most rides, because I was afraid the ride operator would say something to me or question whether I could go on the ride. This time, I didn't worry at all and fit right in. I even straddled the carousel horse with ease.

This plan is SO worth it!

My daughter is learning how to eat healthy. She "sneaks" egg whites and veggies off my plate or requests her own egg whites. I'm so proud.
