Lilac, I think you are wise to schedule your series of A1C tests in a way that will show a trend. If the doctor just wanted to see you in the office in 6 weeks, though, that might be sensible. Glad you may be posting more with us.
It's nice you got so many different types of exercise in, Nancy.
How are the hands looking, Harmony?
Cowinkie, I love record keeping of healthy habits. I think "My Calorie Counter" was really state of the art when I began using it, but it doesn't have particularly good charting. (There's also a "scale" that is a clever moving graphic but after you've seen it once, you've seen it.) Also, there is nothing forward-looking or predictive like what you've mentioned at "myfitnesspal". Still, as I've said before, all my info is there right now and I tend to want to stay with it. The database of foods is extensive, it tracks most daily input factors (Fat Chol Sod Crb Fib Sug Pro) except how much food input of vitamins, which even the old Slim Fast site used to track way back in the day, and the articles each day are pretty good.
All my T-Tapp workouts and measurements are kept on a calendar sheet. I print it out and write things in and then 3-hole-punch and keep in a binder.
The fridge 4x6 index card for my daily 14 Healthy Habits is a lot of help and on the back I write the weight at which I started and any change through the half-month. I know it sounds like I must do a lot of record keeping, but it only takes a few minutes a day.
