Day 75 - Doctor's Visit

I'll give you a highlight of my doctor's visit first.  My blood sugar is getting high and I need to bring it down.  So more exercise, better eating.  In fact, my doctor says I am right on the fence for diabetes.  Now that couldn't be any scarier.  And my colesterol needs to come down.  Not so much so if I don't have diabetes but very much so if I do.  I have been able to bring my colesterol down before so here's hoping I can do it again.

My weight at the doctor's was one pound less than 6 months ago, and 5 lbs less than one year ago.  That's a little progress.  Now I need to get it down a bunch before next visit.  The scale there has me heavier than my scale at home, it may be because of my clothes or who knows... But I go by my scale for this blog's sake.

My eating and exercise are still not where it should be at all.  I need to cut back on my alcohol and eating out... and eat better stuff at other times too.  I feel like I should be doing so much better by now.

Day 73 - Not Sure What Happened

My weight this morning was up a bit but I thought yesterday was reasonably ok.  I just get all worked up at work and feel I need some sugar sometimes... I don't think I actually need it I just feel like I do.  I tried drinking lots of water to combat this feeling but it didn't work...  I ended up eating some pretzels and a bit of candy.

My dinner may have been a bit heavy as I had some left over potato salad and ham.  And I did have a couple of drinks last night.  So I'm not sure what did it exactly but I did have some setbacks.

So today I need to at least get through the day without snacking.  And if I can make my lunch this morning that would be good.  I'll work on the evening later...

Day 72 - Easter Didn't Hurt Me Too Much

Although I ate some candy yesterday, my weight this morning was ok.  I now need to work to make things a lot better.  I guess we'll see how it goes.

Day 71 - It's Easter, Happy Easter To You!

Today will be a tough day not to eat chocolate, that's all I have to say.  We just got done looking at our baskets and finding Easter Eggs.  This is Owen's, my grandson's, second Easter, he's now about 18 months old, so he's really excited.  My youngest daughter is 17 so not so excited, although she does like what she's gotten for Easter.

Yesterday I did ok on my diet except that I had some drinks.  I guess that's my biggest weakness although sometimes at work during the week I eat out of nervousness.  I need to end that also.  I do ok when I drink lots of water but I can still do much better.  I need to lose my sense of entitlement and just do my diet.  My foot is feeling better so I'll start taking longer walks, especially because it's warmer out.  I haven't completely blown my diet so I can still pull this out.

Next week I have my semi-annual doctor's appointment because I take blood pressure meds.  We'll see what she says about my blood work and my weight.

Day 70 - Another Busy Week

I was able to lose a bit this week but could do a lot better.  I was very busy but that really is no excuse.  I'll have to take this one day at a time and do what I can today, not worrying about tomorrow or yesterday.  I guess we'll see how it goes.

Day 64 - Vacation Is Over

We had a nice week and are back home now.  I gained just a little over a pound, which really isn't too bad.  I just need to get back into the weight loss spirit and get caught back up.  I've got so much going on now it's going to be a challenge but hopefully I can do it.  We'll see how this week goes...
