It has again been a while since a posting. Hrm.
So...
Blood sugar has been high again lately, but then I lost my meter, so not able to check for almost the last week. I will find it this weekend, one way or another! It has (more or less) been determined that I have (or am developing) arthritis. I get it. My hands won't open or close for a bit in the mornings when I wake up, but eventually it goes away. I'm tired a lot, although I can't manage to sleep all the way through the night.
On the other hand, I am officially down to 205.6. I did, for a moment, see 203.6, but then it immediately went to 204.8 when I was trying to get photographic evidence. But, again...the number is going DOWN and always fluctuates a couple of pounds up. It was fluctuating up to 206.x, but it feels like we may be beyond that and down another bit.
I'm still hoping to be in "onederland" by New Year's. 6 months to lose 20 pounds. . . it should stay off, right? If it can keep doing down, then maybe I can be down to 180 by summer break.
I must say that I enjoy not having to unbutton pants anymore. These 2X shirts are fitting looser and looser. I can't quite get comfortably into an XL, but it's coming. I know I should ask for clothes for Christmas, possibly move down from a size 22 jeans to a size 20. (I am wearing a 22 in jeans and a 20 in other pants.) Next week, I need to dig out some out old size 18s and see if I can possibly get myself into them.
Wish me luck!
