Loss: 1.6

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Great job @cmhubbard92 ! Is your power still out? What's the ETA? We got several more inches of rain yesterday but thankful that we have AC. The mosquitos are going to be out in full force next week. 😳🦟

@DaffyGirl88 it is now almost 8pm, and we still have no ETA. Eversource has done a very half-assed job at giving any time estimates, as my moms area said still assessing, but her power was back on around 10am. This is our third day.


They finally removed this limb down the road from us, which I believe was the cause of our power outage. Unfortunately, no linemen are expected in the area tonight, but the crew said we're expected to be back on tomorrow.

In any case, the transfer station will finally be open for garbage disposal tomorrow, and we will be doing a complete dump of everything in the fridge (finally, we've kept it shut this whole time, except when there was still usable food in the freezer), and I will get to clean out the whole thing.

In other news, my boyfriend is a supervisor at a company that delivers linen to hospitals. One of the supervisors of another district had to cover a route in my boyfriends district because my boyfriend was training a new driver. Unfortunately, something happened on the supervisors return, as he veered off the highway and crashed in an embankment-the cause is unknown at the moment. The truck was completely flattened and the supervisor was DOA. I am so nervous about the amount of driving my boyfriend does on a daily basis with these box trucks, and it has severely increased my fear. If he was not training the new driver, he would have been driving this truck today... I am at a loss of words right now, my boyfriend seems OK. But I'm so, so worried about this. This could have been him, and I feel so terrible for this guy's family. He was 27, and just had a baby a month or so ago. Just so tragic. I just thought I would share...

I am so sorry for this loss of precious life thought and prayers out to his family and friends

Username: pandygirl1
Weigh In Week: Aug- week 1
Weigh In Day: Saturday
Previous Week's Weight: 288.4
Current Week's Weight: 287

Loss To Date: TBBT (-1.4 lbs)
Not much for first week's weigh-in. Overall weight-loss (113 lbs)

This past week has not been a very good one I lack energy and motivation. Dealing with a lot of health issues.

My Diabetes is out of control, even though my eating habits have changed for the better and I'm eating healthier, exercising more.
The time before last my A1C was 8.5%, which is high. But when the last blood work came back (taken on July 16th) it was 10.9 % which is really out of control. Usually my blood is checked once every 3 months, but because it's so high they had me do blood work again on Thursday August 6th. The doctor also increased one of my Diabetes meds (on 3 kind) to the full amount that can be taken for that particular medication.

I really don't know what else to do. Seems like I'm the reverse of what normally happens to people who lose a lot of weight and change their lifestyle for the better.
For years I've heard that if I lost 100, even 50 lbs my Diabetes would improve greatly or go away altogether. Once again, I've (my body) has proven them wrong, honestly I wish they had been right.

I'm a little stressed with what is happening to me (my body), and how it is making me feel sluggish, and having little to no energy most of the time. I still force my self to get up and clean my apartment, and take care the cats, as will as exercise including some walking. I refuse to give up, and will keep going in the hope that all the good that I'm doing now, will kick in and things will change for the better in regards to my health.
