Okay, time for a little bragging. This may not seem like much but to me it means that I am that much closer to meeting my goal weight (for knee surgery) of 210. Only 29 more pounds to go!! That means that I have lost 36 pounds so far!! Woohoo!! Of course, I want to get to 135, which is my ideal weight, but look at how much progress I have made so far! So excited!

Okay, as of now, June 14, 2022, I am now down at 236 pounds. That is 40 pounds gone for good and 26 pounds to go to meet 210.

July 29, 2022, I am now down to 232 pounds. I am now down 44 pounds! Woohoo!!

Saw my PCP this morning and he wants me to check my blood pressure once a day for 3 weeks as it is a little on the high side. I think it was high as I have not been sleeping well and have had a lot of pain for the past week, but he still wants me to check it manually at the same time every day. I will do it but under protest! We both think that Sjogren’s Syndrome may have something to do with it and I will be starting tomorrow.

I am actually fitting into smaller sized clothes and have been on a shopping spree lately, buying new capris, tops and even some summer dresses! I feel like a new person and feel better mentally! I am very happy! Tomorrow I will go back to the gym after a week off as I had pulled a muscle in my leg last weekend and needed to rest it.

Another update! August 24, 2022. I am now down at 225 pounds. The new clothes that I bought are hanging off of me, just too small for my britches! Very happy!! That is a grand total, so far, of 51 pounds! Only 90 more pounds to go! I CAN do this and I will DO this!
