    I'm back on track today! I was inspired by somebody's 700+ days of logging in.

    Hello. BV, I'm so sorry about your kitty. It's very hard losing a pet.

    No plans here for the weekend other than just chilling out.

    I'm feeling great tonight. Just got back from my weigh in and I lost 2.5 lbs. After only a quarter pound last week 2.5 feels great. My hairdresser has just hired a lady who does manicure s and pedicures along with facials etc. I have decided that when I can get down to 170 I am going to treat myself. So 21 lbs to go. It will be a little reward for me and hopefully make me want to continue this journey. Thanks so much for the encouragement! ,

    I had an appt with my doc this morning and she's very happy with me.

    My BP is down, my A1C is down, my weight is down *just a teensy bit*.

    So after lunch I sat down at the table with my husband and we each had coffee and the last 2 slices of CHOCOLATE cake that had been lurking in the back of the fridge for the last week.

    YAY SPLURGE!!!

    I'm back on track though, it's gonna take me 3 days to work that sucker off!

    :drinker:

    Wooken: I love that you ride your bike every day. It's very healthy being outside in the fresh air.

    Jeanrob: your vacation looks absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    My favorite exercise is dancing. I love to out on music--country or oldies--and just move around to the beat. I don't have a really good routine, but try to get it done in the morning. I'm maintaining--for almost a year now. It doesn't seem to matter how many calories I consume, scale stays within 2lbs. But since it is a healthy weight, I'm thinking of finally accepting it and moving on. I know I will have to continue to log my food for the rest of my life because I've proved to myself that if I don't the weight comes right back again.

    You gals and guys are doing great! Keep it up.

    a1c is a blood sugar test that gives you a blood glucose reading for the past three months. More long term accurate than daily testing. Any number under 7.0 is good under 6.0 is excellent
