218.25, down 1.25 from yesterday.
My kinda break of a plateau!!
I've been doing this for nearly four months now. I've come a long way; down 37.75 pounds from my starting weight. That's not half bad!!!! In 2.25 pounds more, I will have lost 40 pounds ... 40 pounds!!!! I will not yet be halfway to my goal, but that ultimate goal is more and more in sight.
Do I think that my life will become problem-free and full of suitors when I get there? I do not. Life's problems go on for everyone. But I am becoming healthier, which solves one set of problems. It's already easier to tie my shoes. It's easier to get up from exercising on the floor. It's easier to get down to exercise on the floor. My blood chemistries are improving ... pretty dramatically. My hips still hurt; that's arthritis, unaffected by weight loss, and one day (when I go on Medicare's Plan F in four years and no longer have a huge hospital copay) I will likely get a hip replacement; meanwhile, I gimp along (if I need it, I have Jim's cane to use, and I can likely get a handicap tag for the car with these hips). Exercise helps.
