Recapping my week – logged 7/7 days, doing well staying in the low half of my maintenance leeway, summer humidity is here. Keepin’ weight off! Keepin’ activity up!
Finally stopped ignoring the literal weeds in my literal garden and put in 45 minutes of weeding in lieu of walking – now 2 days in a row. Fewer steps on the counter but the body still got it (and the garden needed it).
Who’s lurking? How was your week? Let’s hear it!
Didn’t want to make a full post, since I’m on a new account vs reddit, but got good news this week: officially in remission from obesity-induced diabetes: in February, weighed 380, had a fasting BG of 175 and an a1C of over 11. Was having frank symptoms of high blood sugar, which started soon after a nasty bout of COVID.
As of this week 6 months into low carb, down to 305, a1C of 5.2, and postprandial BG of under 100 in less than an hour, even with potato stew!
Going to stick with it, as low carb and metformin has really helped curb hunger vs the ignoring of macronutrients I used to do, but very proud of results so far and feeling like I dodged a real crisis. Unclear how much being sick moved me from pre-diabetic to diabetic, but either way I’m grateful to have had a say in its (lack of) progression.
WOW! You have practically disappeared your diabetes! Well done! This is major major news!
