I was thinking it was about two months since my last maintenance weigh-in. A couple people asked about it--and my reply, "it's been a couple months" was off by almost a month and a half. I checked prior to this morning's weigh-in at the doctor's office and was surprised. My last weigh-in was February 9th's 207.2. Today was 209.4.
I was surprised to see a brand new high-tech scale in place of the one I've used for a very long time--but that's okay. I was assured that this one was much better than the old scale. This number represents a 2.2 pound gain since February 9th. I can live with 209. Today's weight also represents a small 2.4 pound gain since May 4th, 2016's 207. I'm okay with this fluctuation window!
I did my weigh-in this morning and my blood work lab report appointment this afternoon. The lab work results came back wonderful.
Blood pressure was 118/70
Pulse: 58
Total Cholesterol: 177
LDL Cholesterol: 112
HDL (the good kind): 56.6
A1C: 5.6
Blood Sugar: 85.5
Triglycerides: 44
Liver and thyroid was great, too. I couldn't have been more pleased. I'm blessed and very grateful.
It's been a super long day. My schedule called for me to be in and out a few times today--and that made it a longer day, then severe weather coverage made it even longer.
Today: I maintained the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget, I remained refined sugar-free, I exceeded today's water goal, and I stayed connected with great support.
