So from 222lbs which was my highest weight that I started out at before being half assed to being consistent, I have warbled between 212lbs to 214lbs. This morning I weighed in at 212lbs (again and I'm hoping this is where I settle before I push for more weight loss. Ten pounds is good. I need to lose and maintain a lower weight but I'm happy with my slow steady progress so far.
My really big excitement is the lowering of my slow acting insulin. I was at 20 CC's and now I am down to 10 CC's. Because my glucose levels have been hitting fast before bed I've been popping glucose tabs before bed every night for the past three nights. Tonight I'm lowering the insulin to 5 CC's and see how I do with that. I'm crossing my fingers that I'm good to go with 5 cc's but we'll see. I will do that for three days worth of morning fast readings and go from there.
Even before weight loss my main goal is to work off the insulin and be consistent with my steps. I just finished steppin for the day and I'm a little over the 10k mark. Once I get my glucose levels stabilized with walking and no insulin at night I will start focusing on upping my daily steps to 20K. Fall and winter are coming but I've decided to stop being a puss and just walk it out in the early a.m. at Walmart. I figure I can have my husband drop me off on his way to work and I can walk it out there then walk or bus home depending on the weather. I'm kinda excited about that.
I need to schedule a 2month followup/check in with my doctor so I better go do that. Also write my doc with a check in status. I don't know why I'm so motivated but I am.
