I had my 3 month follow up with my doctor this last week, and with the combination of diet, exercise and drug, I was able to drop my A1C from 7.9 to 5.5.  So The going theory is that if I am able to maintain this, I'll be able to drop the dose or drop the drug all together (woo!).  The weight loss continues, Loss:  14.93% / 11.07% (Peak / 2016).  There is some clear evidence that I can manipulate my weight by a few pounds (weight after mowing and yard work (low on water) vs just up out of bed (probably still low on water, but not as much)).  Which is why I used today's weight instead of yesterdays.

There has been some loss and regain weeks, some mistakes and corrections, but overall the trend line continues to go down.

I've also lowered the goal bar for calorie intake, and have generally met the goal (even the higher points should still lead to loss.

There is a matter of concern with the recent story on how the body can react loss and how one will more or less permanently have to reduce the calorie intake to just maintain the weight.  Which I knew I'd probably have to pay attention forever, but maybe not as close of attention.  So that turns it into a permanent journey.  That being said, we as a couple are making better choices, so that's a good thing.  I admit that sometimes I want something (ex: carrot creme brûlée from The Cheese Shop), but pass on ordering the whole thing (on the positive side I still got to try it).

I am excited that the farmer's market is back.  This gives me a reason to get up an move on a Saturday morning, though I probably still need to plan for something on Saturday / Sunday.  I also need to add a routine and time for some upper body stuff (avoiding stress on my wrists, which are already shitty).

On a less positive note, my Psoriasis seems to be adding spots for flare ups.
