Dr Appointment

So today I had to go to the doctor's office to get the results of my blood tests that I had on Monday. Well, my doctor walked in and was so excited and gave me a hug. She said she had to do a double take when she saw my weight was down 36lbs since January. I have not been the weight I am at now, since 2006. My labs came back great. My blood sugar was 101 in January and Monday it was 89. My ALC was 6.4 in January and Monday it was 5.7. My cholesterol was great. My blood pressure was 128/72 (and that is without medicine). I'm SO excited. It's very encouraging to see the results of my weight loss on paperwork.

The doctor told me that if I can keep at it like this, I won't need to be on medicine for Diabetes for a long time. And normally she would have me come back in 6 months, but she decided to have me come back in 3 months, so she could encourage me to keep at it. Anyway, she told me that I started her morning off great.

I'm so thankful that I have gotten this far, and I'm anxious to keep going now.

Thank You Lord for Your strength that you give me daily. For surrounding me with such great friends and family who support me. Thank You for giving me such a wonderful husband who is patient with me when I get the hunger grumpiness, who comes on walks with me for exercise, who always encourages me whether I lose weight or not, etc. Thank You Father for life here on earth and life everlasting. I praise You Father!
