Four weeks in, and down 12 pounds
I had my monthly check-up with my doc this morning, something I’m doing during the initial stages of my diet to help enforce some accountability, along with monitoring some real-world medical issues. When I started the diet, I agreed not to weigh myself between visits because she didn’t want me focused on short-term variation. If I’m wondering how I’m doing, just go by how my clothes are fitting.
So, the clothes are fitting better. I’m in one notch on the belt. And today I weighed in at 12 lbs lower – 333 lbs.
Yeah, a drop in the bucket. But the journey has to start somewhere and that’s 12 fewer pounds to lose when about half the people in America go on their annual New Years diet – hence, the Hundred Day Head Start moniker for this blog.
Better still, my BP was down this morning, to 122/74, and she said my pulse was down as well. So, that’s good.
Next appointment is scheduled (wisely) for the day before Thanksgiving. Hey, I’m not stupid enough to schedule a weigh-in for the Monday AFTER Thanksgiving!
