I saw my Endocrinologist today. I am doing well and am at the same weight I was 3 months ago. She kept all my medications the same and I had a blood test - Hemaglobin A1C. It tests how much sugar has been in your blood for the past 3 months. My last result was 6.9 and I need to be at 6 or below. So we'll see.
She said I should concentrate on exercising that it will help with the grief, weight loss and muscle strength. She told me that folks over 40 lose 1-2 pounds of muscle per year and it turns to fat if you don't counteract it with exercise. I never knew that. Yuck. I pictured a bunch of loose swinging flesh hanging from my body in about 10 years.
I have to see her again in June and I am to have lost 8 pounds by then. Let's surprise her and lose 10! It could only help me in the process. Can I do it? You bet!
Food For Thought:
My mom's encouragement is helping. I did more than One Good Thing today. I walked, I ate my diet hot dogs without the bun and added vegetables instead and I did not have any sweets. (It's been hard to break the habit of 1 piece of candy after lunch and I did NOT do that today!)
One day at a time and I'll become my dream
