I returned to SP just a few days and just read my last blog entry from last summer. Ugh! If I'd just hung in there, I would have reached my goal by the end of next month. Sigh! Ah, well, back to business. I had a physical with a new (to me) doctor last week who encourages "hand-holding" and set a much smaller goal for me - 50lbs. She didn't know about SP, so I will print out report for her next time I visit. Now I need to go dig out my b/p cuff and, although not diabetic, my glucometer for record-keeping. But first, a mile of nordic walking around the park!
