Highlights from this day

knees_first — i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust, for what its worth 15:30
knees_first — honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug 16:10
knees_first — genuine question a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it 16:59
knees_first — quick one kept 15 of it off for 19 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, ask me again in a month 17:16

i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust, for what its worth

ring fitting is the best one

i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

blood pressure went from 148 over 94 to 124 over 78 across about a year and my gp took me off one of the two tablets

i nearly quit too

good bp move

genuine question a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

m0  118.4
m1  113.9
m2  110.2
m3  108.8
m4  108.1  <- the stall
m5  105.0
m6  101.6
m7   99.2

quick one went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason

thats not showing off

10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

genuine question does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

quick one kept 15 of it off for 19 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, ask me again in a month
