    Blood Keytones 3.4
    Blood Glucose 90
    GKI 1.45

    What a beautiful Tuesday morning... Raining, but I don't give a hairy rat's *kitten*! 😉

    OOOoooh Man, ever since walking my GKI number are looking sweet, and all it really means I'm burning more fat than ever before to fuel my activities. Feel like Macho Man OOOoooooohh YEaaaahHHHH! 😄

    I like this Pictogram, as it shows all the varying stats against the same time line.... You can see that lovely hill I have to climb, lap after lap. lol

    You will notice It says I went 1.25 miles today. That seems like a stretch, but I decided to do a wide final lap today. I think I may do more wide laps in the future, as opposed to doing an extra lap. At least for now. 🙂

    Getting Stronger, every day! 😄

    Good Morning everyone, have an amazing Tuesday! And stay out of trouble you hear!? 😋😎

    Almost forgot...

    We had just a touch of humidity the other day and I could feel it when I walked. You did great on the bike and green on 2 more of your goals! Way to go!

    @rlaskey2
    Sometimes it has to be a simple dinner. Why is shopping so exhausting?

    @Tazaria87
    You have made an amazing transformation. Your energy level must have increased drastically. You have worked so hard for this and the finish line is right there. Just amazing!

    @Beautyofdreams
    Your story in the blog is absolutely amazing. I encourage everyone to read it. You have overcome one hardship after another. I know this skin graft is going to be hard but you can get through it. You are already trying to find ways. Your strength is admirable.

    @rwood566
    Look at those steps! I was wondering if you could share some of your dessert ideas.

    @Poobah1972
    I just learned what gki stands for and your numbers are great. Awesome day!

    Alright guys, I got my pictures put together in a collage. Hopefully it turns out ok. So, the first one is me at my son's baptism 5 years ago. It's one of the only pictures I have of me at my highest weight. The next picture is of me last year when I started this current journey. The last two are me from today.

    Those pictures really show your journey and I can see why people were stopping you and asking about your weight loss. You look fantastic - thanks for sharing your journey.

    Monday’s check in
    ✅Steps 6262
    ✅Sleep
    ✅Walk

    Yesterday was very challenging. After my walk the pain in my leg and back was at an all time high. That coupled with the fact my blood pressure has been high really got to me. It was really high at my dentist appointment last week, I measured it a few times at the pharmacy and I bought a meter on Sunday. I never had problems with high blood pressure before so I am going to call the doctor today. I am going to try and use this to light a fire in me. I got started on my journey over 2 years ago as my diabetes was bad and I used the fear to get me going. I need to harness that fear again. I apologize for not cheering everyone on yesterday.

    Anyways, it is raining yet again. I am going to walk anyway but I bought an umbrella yesterday. I got pretty wet during my walk yesterday so I said enough already. ☔️

    Have a terrific Tuesday!

    I absolutely love your determination and perseverance. I hope you stayed dry!

    Way to go Linda👏👏 ✅✅✅ so glad you bought an ☔️, still so impressed that you walk in the rain. So happy that you’re sleeping!

    @lmf1012
    That’s a huge accomplishment staying under your calorie goal every day 🙌🙌
    oh my gosh, I used to hate exercise. I had so many excuses not to exercise. I listened to Atomic Habits and one of the suggestions that I heard was to pair something I do and enjoy everyday, with something I wanted to change. I paired morning coffee with Peloton (started cycling low and slow- so that I’d be able to ride again the following day without being sore). At first I didn’t enjoy cycling. Didn’t want to do it. Slowly, it became a habit and I was eventually able to increase my endurance.

    @Tazaria87
    Congratulations on all ✅ yesterday and for working out after you put your kids to bed👏👏
    I’m so glad you posted! Be proud of your hard work.

    @Beautyofdreams

    Thank you everyone ........Still very sore and it is bruised (like black n blue bruised) He didn't bandage it up so my pants are hitting the staples which is not helping with the pain

    Would it please be possible to change my weigh in day this week to Wednesday instead of Thursday as I won't have scales from Thursday till Tuesday. Hope this is OK

    Does the surgeon want the area to be left without a bandage? If he didn’t inform you to keep it uncovered, maybe his office staff can ask him, since it’s adding to the pain & it’s rubbing against your pants, can you bandage it
