202.5 this morning (day #49). WOOHOO!!! Down another pound and a half after yesterday's stall. Only 8 days to go and 3.5 pounds left to lose. BUT, it may be more than that :-(
My son's scale weighs higher than mine by about a half a pound. I ordered a new scale from Amazon yesterday and it should arrive today. That will become the official weight-keeper. At least it should give me the SAME weight each time I step on it instead of changing it each time, as my son's does. I just hope it isn't TOO far off from my home doctor's scale. It will also give me weight down to the 10th of a pound, instead of having to record in 1/2 pound increments.
I've had some interesting NSV's from the fasting and/or weight-loss in general.
1. My urinary incontinence has been greatly improved! Used to have 5-10 episodes a day, but now even one is a rarity.
2. In the mornings, I would always blow my nose and get a bunch of dried up gunk out of it. Now, when I blow my nose, it is just clear liquid.
3. I can get up much more easily from my recliner.
4. My hair is not falling out as much as it was before I started fasting.
5. I'm much more motivated to do things around the house!
6. My stomach hernia hasn't been bothering me at all. Usually, after I would have a big meal, it would stick out as much as having a third boob.
I know all those are weird (or too graphic), but I've been thinking for days about sharing them with you, so I just went ahead and did it instead of deliberating any more.
Looking forward to grandkids coming back late tomorrow night. (I have to pick them up at the airport sometime after midnight Monday morning.) I don't know when I'll be able to have them over, though! On Monday, I have a dentist appointment and physical therapy. On Tuesday, I have my 1pm phone call Bible Study (which has been going very well - I'm learning a lot!). Wednesday is the colonoscopy at 8:30am. I know I'm not supposed to drive for 12 hours afterward, so it is probably not a good idea to be in a swimming pool, either. Thursday anytime is open, and Friday after 1:15 (the Bible study is twice a week). SO, I guess it's Thursday and Friday then for the pool! Fortunately, weather is supposed to be good ALL week, with only a 50% chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday.
Yesterday, I got a sign from God about the bean plants. In one of them, the whole entire pole (with the vines growing all up it) fell completely over, out of the pot and onto the ground. It was like it was saying, "I'm DEAD! Put me out of my misery!" My Royal Burgundy Bush Bean seeds arrived yesterday. The Kentucky Wonder green pole bean seeds are supposed to arrive on Sunday. It will be good to get a fresh start!
OK, that's the news in my life for today. Thanks again to everyone who keeps up (puts up?) with me! Especial thanks goes out to Debra Anderson (not sure of spelling of whole user name), who told me yesterday that she looks forward to getting home every night to find a FS email waiting that gives my update. That made my day!
