I sure did appreciate
the recommendations for weigh-in strategies and the encouragement about my
doctor’s visit from blogging friends yesterday.
My worries about weight gain and the probability of a
lecture from the doctor were all
for naught. I weighed two pounds
less than at my previous visit, and there was no lecture. I confess I was
sneaky, though.
Prior to the 9:40 a.m. appointment, I strategically limited consumption—no
breakfast, just a swallow or two of water and a few peanuts so that I adhered
to the “take with food” directions for one of my four morning meds and
vitamins.
The good news was
that after Tish the nurse weighed me in and took my blood pressure, my internist
came in and said that my body mass index (BMI) was good and that I don’t need
to lose anymore weight.
The not as good news
was that a couple other numbers were slightly elevated, but what could I expect? May was filled with celebratory eating. I have six months
to see what a return to sane eating will accomplish.
What a great surprise!!!! Perhaps your other numbers will come down as things settle down a bit, I hope so.
ReplyDeleteJust think how great you would have fared with out May's indulgence. Well done.
ReplyDeleteTwo peanuts huh??
fantastic news... no weight gain even with all the fun eating you did..
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, it's hard to be good when there's always so much tempting food in our presence :) I keep trying though.
