Ready to start the boat!

I've fallen off of the MFP site for (wow, it's been a while!) a few years, but I've been working on my health issues all along. I've also been working on a house we bought and then partially gutted for a major remodel. I did all of that work myself. That effort resulted in NO boating in 2015, but we managed several outings in 2016. The 2017 boat season has been great so far, with a month or more left to go. I've been battling pre-diabetes, and get my latest A1C results in a day or two. I've actually met my weight loss goal of 40 pounds, after 2.5 years of my "five pounds, level off, then five more" strategy, and can thank MFP for giving me the initial tools to do this. I did gain several (6-8) pounds back at one point (remodel complete, I rediscovered relaxation!) and leveled off at that weight for a long time (a year?), then the pre-D blood test result got me back on track early this year. I'll have to watch out for cooler, less sweaty and less active weather this fall and winter, but I think I'll be okay.
