To say that the last couple of weeks of been stressful is an understatement. I should have posted an update on the 14th when I went to doctors. In fact, I have had people message me asking how it's going because they have not seen an update. Thank you for that. On the 14th I found that I had dropped another pound since I slipped in the last time just for the weight. So my total was now 31 pounds and my BP was good. I was planning to come home and post my latest update when my friend Carol contacted me about our friend and my neighbour Mike. Considering Mike's condition I was in no mood to come home and celebrate my pound weight loss or to post an update.
The next week was very stressful. Mike had taken ill very suddenly and was on life support. This very much took a toll on Mike's family and friend's over the next week as Mike was taken off life support and then awaiting the funeral. A lot of us took Mike's death hard. He was a great friend, super nice guy and to me a great neighbour. Needless to say, it was a week of not watching what was going into my body.
When I woke up yesterday, the 23rd, I felt like I had gained 5 pounds. It was not a good feeling. Again I didn't want to wait to see my doctor on our regular appointment for me to see the damage I had done. So off I went again to slip in and get on the scale. I am glad to say that I was not up 5 pounds, but I was up 2 pounds. So I am now at 29 pound weight loss and I am ok with that. We are allowed to have rough weeks. And it was for me. The choice is now to get back on track and get those 2 pounds back off along with some more.
On a positive note I am very happy to have my walking partner back tomorrow. As I told you all before, Michelle fell in the first walk back in January after the holidays and I have missed her terribly!!! Our walks, talks and support. So I find myself back on my mission, wanting more than ever to get fit and healthy.
The picture attached to this post is at 30 pound weight loss. Taken on March 12th by friend Virginia. I can honestly say I already feel a lot better and look forward to more. Thank you to everyone that has told me how good I am looking and gives me a boost. Makes me want to keep going.
I will post again soon. As for now, Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and support. Michelle my friend I will see you tomorrow. And for my friend Mike that I will not get too see tomorrow, we miss you and you will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. Rest in peace.
