Whoosh!!! I stepped on the scale four times. The first time because it read 218.8#. Three times afterward it read 217.8#. So I’m going to own the 217.8# with the knowledge there will be fluctuations.

Even with the swelly belly I tried on a pair of skinny jeans (that were too uncomfortable to wear last year) and they pulled on and buttoned comfortably!!! I tried on some "skinny slacks" (referring to them that way because I used to wear them at a lighter weight) and I could get them on! I could button them but the belly....yeah no. I have a favorite pair of spring/summer pants that I am looking to get back into. I also put on a pair of jean capris (that I could not wear last year) and YES could get them on.

So the menopause and the surgery. I am learning that too much right means...too much standing and too much walking. I have to listen to the little twinge and ache and heaviness and be done when it logs its complaint. If I don't I get mucho swelling!!

22 days of Whole 30 Keto Style and I am looking forward to a low carb pizza casserole in February. However, I will add cheese in sparingly and not daily and monitor to see how it effects me.

I have NREMT test today for my EMT certification...so prayers and good vibes are much appreciated!!!
