First Update

Well, I know it's been almost 16 days since.. oh wait it has been 16 days since I posted. Well here is the progress. Down to 214, 53 lbs since beginning of summer. Weight loss has slowed down. Maybe I've stopped being as agressive with the cutting of food. (aka Peanut butter)

I went to the Doctor on the 14th and had all the Blood work done. Explained to the doc that I had stopped taking the Metformin and was controlling my blood sugar with diet. I also told him I was now Running as part of the change of life. I confessed that I had gained all my weight back that I lost in 2008. He smiled and said, we have a tendency to do that. He was proud of the weight loss. I told him what my Goal weight of 165. He looked at me and said, "when was the last time you weighed that?" I explained it was in the 70s and he said, "well I'll be glad to see you under 200." I am not satisfied with that. I won't be satisfied with that. My goal is 165 then to put on muscle mass. But I want to stay under 180. I was 182 at my wedding and I had a little roll on the belly. I want the flat stomach that I have never had except maybe when I wasn't paying attention in HS.

Blood work came back, and the office called and said Doc said blood work was fine. Not sure what that actually means other than the PSA, AIC, HDL, LDL and thyroid are no need of medication. Allelujah!!!! God is soooo Good!!!

Oh and I graduated C25K program yesterday. Last week is 30 min runs. I ran 2 30 min runs and yesterday ran for 1 hour 2 mins with my Good Friend Bart!! He was encouraging me to the very end. I wanted to quit after 5 miles because that's all I promised myself. He encouraged me to go a little further and then a little further and then a little further till we reached my house. 5.45 miles. WOW. My legs feel it today. Till Later, Blessings.
