248.75 down from 249.25 yesterday.
It's coming off. More slowly now, but it's coming off.
Even when I cheat a little, it comes off, though probably at a slightly slower rate. Yesterday, I ate an extra bread serving late at night. My stomach was growling and sleep was therefore escaping me. After I ate one slice of Wasa Multigrain, my stomach stopped growling and I got to sleep.
Well, if I have to cheat like that, it's still an improvement over the fatty diet I was eating up until 3/14. I've been eating this way for just about a week. I feel good (I always feel good on this program). My energy is up (my house hasn't been this clean for awhile now), I'm waking up around 7:30 - 8 and going to bed around 11 (regular hours help with insomnia), and I'm not puffy at all. My ankles are slim. No congestive heart failure for me, thank you!! And that A1C that was at 5.7 last year (slightly elevated; a normal A1C is "below 5.7," according to the Mayo Clinic) can go down, too. I won't see that decrease in this blood work upcoming (I have a scrip for blood work that I must fulfill soon) since A1C measures the blood glucose trend over a couple of months, but it will show up next year.
