Mixed Results

The ticker is not incorrect.

I weigh 495 according to my scale this morning. The 490 seemed too good to be true. It seemed like a gift from the diet gods to encourage me on. Well, what the diet gods give, the little buggers can take away!

I'm not angry. I'm not giving up. I just hoped for better.

So, that was my lost battle for the day. However, I had some wins. My blood sugar is down to 326, still high but going down. Also, I got up at 5 AM and did the freekin' treadmill - BIG WIN! I'm hoping I can repeat it tomorrow.

Food was pretty simple for the day. I had a shake, powdered eggs and only two strips of bacon (I normally eat four), a salad with turkey & vinaigrette dressing for lunch, some nuts for a snack, then leftover baked chicken and bag salad with vinaigrette dressing for dinner. A good deal.

Next week's weigh in will be better. I just have to believe it will be.

Thanks, Mom. Always good at framing perspective.

How is your stair climbing going?

Ya know... you can gain/loose 5 pounds in one day just due to water weight and stool. So... no worries, babe. You'll get there.

I managed to do the stairs two days in a row. Thigh muscles complained on day 2. Day 3 was spent traveling, so no stairs. I'm now on flat land, not a stair in sight till Sunday. Our hosts have some exercise equipment here. I'll try to make myself use some of it. Three weeks from today, I'll resume climbing.
