I have a weigh-in at the Dr. office this week. I'm trying to NOT snack after dinner, did NOT last night, so will try that this week, to continue, so the Dr. scales weigh me less than it did a couple of months ago.
Needing to get more steps, but did not feel well, at all, this a.m. and rested. Now I'm crocheting, so if I make it to 5K - 7K, I'll be happy. I'll try to get in 10K, by bedtime. The last 2 nights, I've been 8,500K and 9,400K, roughly. But today, with resting and crochet, I'm afraid it'll be lower than my last 2 previous days. BUT at least I'm out of that terrible 2,500 - 3,500 range! I was crocheting gift hats. I can stand and crochet, stepping in place, but it's rather difficult.
The main thing, is I'm happy I'm not doing nighttime snacking, my clothes fit looser, I have energy, and sleep very well, waking up rested. This a.m., it was a case of IBS, but it's just a normal par for the course for me. Luckily, I do have a great medication, so everything has calmed down, no more cramping, or painful tummy. I feel so good now, with a calm tummy. Much happier, too. I just laughed out loud, too. Because it IS NICE to feel good, after feeling so putrid. See the new G. I. Dr. next week, so hoping after the colonoscopy, to get some answers, to these symptoms. Maybe he'll put me on a special diet or prescribe a better medication, for maintenance. I was on a drug study med, 10 years ago, which is on the market now, my insurance company won't let my primary care Dr. prescribe it for me, although they'll cover it, if a G. I. Dr. prescribed it for me. Hark! I feel like we're on the right track! Colon "issues" and colon cancer run in my family. I'm glad I'm doing this proactive thing, for myself and peace of mind.
The washer just sang its "come-get-me" song, so I best be going and getting my work done- and more steps in!
LM, Sorry about your DMIL. Sorry about your bug SPLAT last night, too! I'm very glad your weight was at the lowest it has been this month. I'm pulling for you. Maybe this WILL be a slow trend downward, for you --- and me, both!
