Certified to live ...
So you all know I am a diabetic (or if you didn't you know now!) I had my monthly checkup with Dr. Feelgood today and got some great news! My blood sugar is under such good control, he took me down a notch on one of my meds for that. My cholesterol was in the 140-150 range so that is looking spectacular. The other labs were well within OEM specs so it looks like I might live to see hockey season, which is good cuz I plan on taking in a game in October. The biggest thing to come out of my meeting with the only man that nags me more than my mother (luv ya mom ... no, really!) is the fact that I have lost 31 pounds over the past six months! WOOT! that's right a 3 in the tens column and a 1 in the ones column! I knew I had lost SOME weight, I could see it in my face during those infrequent times I picked up the razor and tried to tame the sagebrush growing on my face. I had no Idea it was that much though! Damn! (Can you tell I'm a little shocked?) Oh, and he also took me off the sleeping meds I was on and put me on the Ambien express. I guess I should probably stock up on Cheetos for those late night trips to the fridge I'll be taking and not remembering! So here he is ... the all new and improved, 50 percent fewer calories, low fat, Tommy. Coming soon to a Hockey game near you. Have a great day ya'll!

Hey gorgeous! Whatcha doing tonight? Oh, oops, sorry, couldn't help myself.
Glad to see you've got the "you'll live" card from the MD. So, how much do you think giving up the booze has contributed to that?
Sweetie, I'm just so happy for you. You're are looking oh so hot.

Getting back down to your fighting weight, huh? Getting ready to get back in the ring? =P
I'm proud to see things going in the POSITIVE direction for a while. Keep building speed and never let up. *muah*
