I haven’t lost much weight since my last update. I’m now hovering in the mid to low 250s, got under 253 for the first time in well over a decade, so the waveform of my weight loss continues to go down. And the average has in fact gone down ten pounds over the last 31 days. So that is the correct trend for me to have.

The interesting thing is that I just saw my doctor again this week and did blood tests, and the news there is very good. After having lost 30 pounds since January, my Pre-Diabetes is just gone. Almost every other number is good too. Losing 30 pounds has resulted in just about every blood number improving in a substantial way. And she was happy to see me again and congratulated me on my continued improvement since the last time I saw her. The one exception they will be investigating. It is probably just me being 50, but investigations will continue.

In other news, I can once again button the top buttons on my work shirts. I have always had a fireplug neck that makes it just about impossible to button my shirts all the way up. My entire life this has been a case. For the first time in I can’t remember how long, I actually CAN button that top button now. Doesn’t mean I’m going to enjoy it. Or that I’m going to go out and do it for funsies. But I am actually physically capable of making the neck of my shirt meet itself after wrapping around my neck. That is a rather new experience for me. And when you add that to the continued shrinking of my waist and stomach and thighs, I continue to have more room in my clothes than I used to.

It is truly amazing to see the physical indications of my weight loss, even when my weight loss hits momentary hitches. My body continues to adjust to the loss in weight, and continues to shrink as I continue to work at it. That is always good.
