Progress!! So Excited as Goal is getting nearer

So I had another blood test as I thought I had a UTI but all they saw was sugar in my urine. That was due to the fact that I had treated myself to a real Cherry Dr Pepper at Hut's in Austin, TX.

The good news that after eating and drinking that soda. My glucose was 93 and my A1C is 5.5, which the Dr said was actually a better number to go by and she liked the numbers!

    Also, I have lost over 11" in 355 days and my weight is below 158!

As it stands, I am seeing results in the way my clothes fit and my glucose is lower and every day, I reduce my risk of necoming pre-diabetic!

Weight vs Inches

So weighing between 164-170 at any given time and never seeing mich of a change can be depressing. That is why I use clothes, body measurements, and what my husband notices. I have avoided measuring myself since last July 2014. Partly out of paying attention to the scale and not to my clothes. 

     Recently, I gave away at least 15 pairs of pants that either are too big or now that they fit, did not look good on me. Only 2 pairs didn't fit but were not my style. Another item is my undies of which i have gone from large down to a med. 

I did go ahead and purchase two new bras which were not as easy to find as I have a large cup size but my ribcage is now 34". Having the right size bras helps my tops fit correctly, the material lays how it was designed without embarrassing gaps.

  Well, Jan 30, 2015, at almost midnight, I finally did my measurements. Wow! I have lost a total of 5"! So, though there has been no weight change, my body is changing. So remember to not get stuck on the scale nber eapecially when you are performing weight bearing exercises.
