It's been a good past few weeks, even in the midst of the holiday season. The holidays have wreaked great havoc on our routine, and, when trying to loose weight, routine is good. As of yesterday's weekly update, I have lost 52.4 pounds, or about 4 and 1/3 pounds per week. My blood tests are all normal, except my HA1C, which is 0.3 above normal. I even let Darrian drag me up to the top of the water slide on Monday (three times, actually). So, I'm feeling pretty good.
