Still doing well. Next week I see my doctor and have lab work to see if my cholesterol and a1c are responding to my changes in food and exercise. I also see the nurse who is working with me on these. I imagine they will be pleased with the results. I know I am.
I do have to buy some clothes. I dont want to spend a lot of money, because I am only part way to my goal, but I look funny walking around in stuff that is just too big. It's a good problem to have. Early in the spring, I had been given a 2x t-shirt for volunteering at a community event. It was the largest size they had, and didn't fit me. I put it on yesterday, and it fit just fine. Now, for some people wearing a 2X would be nothing to be proud of, but it felt like a victory to me. I remembered how ashamed I was when I checked in to volunteer and I could not wear a shirt like everyone else.
Next weekend I am taking part in the Walk for a Cure. I will be able to proudly wear a 2x shirt.
Love to everyone doing this hard thing!

I enjoyed going to the thrift stores when it came time to get new clothes. I could try on styles I never dreamed of and they were cheap which helps when you consider you won't wear them for long as you continue to lose weight! When you've finished with them, you can re-donate them!

Let us know how you make out with the blood work. We all want to look better but the health difference losing some weight can make is so important! Good luck with the walk!

I am having the blood drawn tomorrow AM, see the nurse Thursday, by which time the results should be in, and then the doc next week. The app I use to record blood glucose predicts an a1c under 6. That would be terrific!
I did buy some new undies and one new pair of pants.I'm going to a work celebration next week and I wanted to look nice. Not that anyone will see the undies, LOL, but at least they won't fall off when I wear a skirt. I had this vision of square dancing and looking down only to find my underwear on the floor.
Thanks for all the great feedback! you guys made my day.
