TAKE THAT, beeyatches!!!!

  • A1C: 6.7 - down from last time! normal people have A1C's of about 6.4, so still a little way to go.
  • Weight: down another 15 lbs from the last visit. That makes a total of 30 lbs lost since I moved out here. Another 15-20 to go!
  • Cholesterol, still a little high, but lower than last time. Moar red wine!
  • Blood pressure: still a little high: 140/70, but better than last time as well
Changes comin' up: I'm off insulin entirely for the next three weeks. Sadly this doesnt mean I get out of taking shots, because I'm using Byetta, but it means only 2 a day vs 5! WHOOHOO!

Gotta keep up the walking, get back on the bicycle, even if it means getting up earlier for the 8 am meetings. (oh, being an adult isnt easy...)

*bounce* *bounce* *bouncebouncebounce*

Thank you, my friends, for your continued encouragement and support. I certainly could not have done it alone.

Wow!

Good job! Getting off the insulin should help with the weight loss.

that's an awesome idea. I have something else to write about my stubborness. My dad, when I was first diagnosed (and about 20 lbs lighter than I am now) kept telling me if I just would lose weight, this disease would go away.

oh, how I'm going to really hate myself if he were just right all along.
