Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a good Memorial Day. We did, our 2 DD's & oldest one's DH came up from the "big city" (about 30 miles away), & we had a fun family time. Their work schedules are so different it's hard getting all 3 of them together, so it was nice having them all here today. My weight loss this past week was not super, but I wasn't all that careful about eating this week, so I'm happy with it. It's way better than gaining. We had BBQ today, I ate 3 pork ribs, some coleslaw, a few cherries & a small bag of Cheetos. This was both my lunch AND dinner, so I think it will be ok. I sure hope so, as I have a weigh in with Mike my surgeon's PA tomorrow AM! I would have lost more weight if I had been more careful about my eating, since besides my pool therapy at the Y I went out & pulled tons of weeds at least 3 days in the last week. We have several flower beds, & the weeds are taller than our irises. I hate that! I had them pretty well "weeded out" a few years ago, before my hip & knee replacements & the 2 infections that followed. I've been so weak since then I couldn't do much. But since the cortizone shot I've been feeling great & tackling projects that have been on my "To Do" list for a long time. Today before our family arrived I deep cleaned my kitchen, & am so happy with how nice it looks now. Tomorrow afternoon I hope to finish changing out my wardrobe from winter to summer. I don't remember if I mentioned this before, so please forgive me if I did, but the surgeon who examined my shoulder injury is going to set me up for a cortizone shot in my shoulder, hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks. He wanted to wait a bit since I just had the shot in my hip, just to be safe. So I will continue my pool therapy & weed pulling this week, AND will work hard on eating right, & hopefully I'll lose at least 2 lbs by next SUN's weigh-in. DH has had his ups & downs lately too. First he ran out of one of his injectable insulins, thinking he still had another bottle when he didn't. So I called his Dr & they "rushed" his prescription to our pharmacy. BUT, they didn't state the max dosage which is required by law, so the pharmacy couldn't fill the prescription, so they had to re-do & re-fax it to the pharmacy. Finally on Friday, after 2 days of phone calls & getting messed around, & trying to cook zero carb meals which I wasn't prepared to do, we got his medicine. I was worried that we wouldn't get it before the long weekend, which would have been really bad. Now Hubby's sugars are stable again, & all is well. Thank You, Lord!
