Today is November 1st.  It doesn’t feel like November.  FYI, the time changes tonight – don’t forget to set your clocks back.  I have what is considered a “smart” alarm clock, however, it’s not so smart anymore…it resets itself according to the time change, but if you remember, a couple years ago they passed a law about when the time changes.  My clock was made before the new law went into effect.  Therefore, my clock resets with the old time change and reset itself last weekend.  I was late to work because of it…a coworker called and asked if I was coming to work and I was really confused why she was calling me.  I said yes and they said it was 7 and I was late, I argued that no, it was 6.  I thought they were playing games with me at work…but then it donned on me what happened.  So, I need to remember to reset clocks tonight before going to bed since I have to work tomorrow.

On another note, I’ve been thinking about my future.  Won’t go into detail here about things, but I’ve been thinking a lot.  Enough said.

So…I can’t remember when I last updated about my diet and my health issues…I guess I could look back at old posts, but I’m already in the middle of this one   So, this week is currently my 14th week.  At the end of my 12th week, marking 3 whole months of newfound glory on this diet and my medications, I went in for my weekly weigh in…disappointment here, I only lost 0.8 pounds.  However, if you look at my trending, every few weeks I put up really low numbers like that…it’s like my body is screaming out “Hey, what are you doing to me????  Stoooooop.”  So…bummer with the numbers.  However, since it had been 3 full months, they took my measurements again….I like telling people this part….I’ve lost 19.25 inches!!  I’ve lost 1.5 in the bust (taking me down one cup size), 5 inches in the hips and 7 whopping inches in the waist!  I love hearing those numbers…almost more than my total weight loss numbers!  Oh, yes, end of week 12 with these measurements I was down just over 41 pounds.

With those 12 weeks also came more lab work…  So, last week, the end of week 13, I lost 3.8 pounds bringing my total to 45 pounds… 66% of my weight loss goal (and in 13 weeks!).  Got my lab work back…everything is looking amazing…my cholesterol has dropped about 80 points, my vitamin D levels have come up (I was pretty deficient here and taking 10,000 units a day)…I got to cut back to 6,000 units a day now.  My TSH was finally in normal range so no change to my medication there – so I stay at 125 mcg a day.

So, that’s my update on my weight loss and health for the time being.  I think this post has gotten a little long…I should head on out of here and work on some other things.   

Till next time!
