Oct 25, 2012

Sorry, I kind of dropped off the planet for a bit. Everything is going well and I've been so busy living that I haven't had time to write. Lots of things have happened. The weight speaks for itself.

As for my diabetes, I'm no longer even checking my blood sugars. The doctor said at my visit last Friday "I'm writing you a perscription to stop checking your blood sugars." We'll just check my A1C in about a month at my 3 month checkup.

My family is getting excited about weight loss. My wife and daughter are both dieting and exercising. My wife is very excited about racquetball and we're playing as often as possible. This is kicking my exercise numbers way up .

Several NSVs. I went and bought clothes at a regular clothing store (J.C. Penny's and Sears not a big & tall store) for the first time in a long time. I'm down to a 46" waist from a 58" and my shirt size is down to a 2XL from a 4XL. I had a hard time finding a fitted dress shirt when I went to a Big & Tall. The smallest they had was an 18" neck and I'm down to a 16". I sat in a booth at a restaruant and I fit without having my stomach hang over the table and I fit comfortably in the chair at the theater (I saw Wicked; I loved it!).

I'm still swimming and cycling/walkig on alternate days during the week. On the weekends I usually walk with friends or play racquetball with the wife. I'm having a bit of a hard time fitting in the weight lifting but I'm still trying to get that in 3 times a week.

Well that's all for now.
