Woot woot!
So I got up this morning only to find that it was literally 1 degree outside. WOOF. I drive a 5 speed manual, so naturally I cursed myself out this morning for not buying an automatic. I have love for driving 5 speed. Living in the suburbs definitely helps a lot, you wouldn't catch me dead driving one in a busy city. It's just a pain in the ass having to stop and shift all the time. Luckily we haven't gotten much snow, but generally speaking I like the way it handles in it.
Driving on the way to my appointment, it didn't even occur to me this was my first weigh in of the year! Yippy skippy! I waited patiently for my turn to be called back. I was super excited when I got on the scale. I lost 3lbs this week! I'm still kind of amazed considering I've not only survived the holidays, but I'm officially 13lbs down and on my way to 15!
Dr. Cusimano told me how proud of me she was today, and it made me feel good. Her program is not easy and is definitely not for everyone. I've been seriously grateful that I've found her and she's been such an amazing doctor. She increased my dose of Metformin to two tabs of 500mg. My friends who are diabetics, are actually on the same dose as me. Which always makes me wonder, if I really am a diabetic and she's not telling me or she's using it purely to help me lose weight? I guess I should have asked her when I was in the office today...
My next office visit, I'm hoping to have lost another 2lbs to get to me a running total of 15lbs melted away! I get another set of labs taken in 3 weeks, so we'll see if the Metformin and Tricor are working. Wish me luck! :-)
