Greetings chickadees!! I've been so wraped up in my own world for awhile and haven't been posting . WOW super great to see so many new people to share with . I felt for awhile we were poopin' out . But our family has blossumed so beautifully. WELCOME , WELCOME , WELCOME LOVELY LADIES.
DOGPAL: Oh my how I've missed you lady . I'm so glad we're both back where we need to be. I missed the piece on where you may be relocating to. Can you catch me up in a nut shell?? I'll pray for you so it goesw well. Stay strong and lets hurry back here to get stronger yet. Ginko huh? Hmmm xoxoxoxox
Well, to catch up on how I've been doing: I hit a platue at 49 lbs. I lost my mond after 3 weeks at the same place. But I didn't go to food to fix it this time. I just went on vacation instead . My husband travels around on his job and he was in Red Bluff Calif. when I decided to run away for awhile. I took my diet partner/son with me. We lived in the motel for 10 days and all we did was sleep, swim, fight over the t.v., read, swim some more and eat from the micro wave. WE HAD A BLAST . I got tired of relaxing...lol. I did mostly ok on my food while we were there. I was not perfect but I have been perfect for 4 months straight so I let go just a little . But I don't feel bad because I was also swimming 3 to 4 hours per day . I fried up my back and shoulders the first day so I had to wait till there was a shadow on the pool after that.
I went to my 3 month check up with my doctor last month and she was sooooo happy with me. She didn't know I was working on my weight, so 49lbs was a great suprise I had to share. My labs were awesome. I am diabetic on 3 differt pills and 44 units of insolin 2 times a day. My A1c (3 month blood sugar levels) were 8.6 in April (5.5 is perfect 10.0 is almost dead) and it is now 6.4.YEAH. I take meds for high blood pressure and forgot it the day I went in and my pressure was....normal...YEAH. My cholesterol has always been good but it was 30 points lower than before. WOW 49lbs was a great move> I only take 22 units of insolin once a day now also. That was all great news in one day. My doctor said she can't wait till my next check up because she knows I will be able to weigh on her scales for the first time in 8 yrs.. ...I sure hope so.
Well, I turn 42 on Wed. Sept 7th and I am buying a good scale for home I finally found one that may go up enough to handle me. I weigh at the hospital now and am getting tired of making the trip. I haven't weighed it 3 weeks so I hope I've done something. Oh well, stuck is better than backsliding. I gave my mind a rest and changed up my diet some and added some differnt vitamines too. Please cross your fingers for me all .
Ok, I've gone on and on and I just want to finish with GREAT JOB TO ALL OF YOU. Just putting your minds in check to take care of your self is part of the big piture. Stay stonge. Enjoy every day .
