Friday Morning Brief

March 15, 2024 8:15am CST
Good morning from cool, sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. We expect our high at 53 later today. Today is my doctor's appointment. It's also the day I hoped to get to 200 on the scale. Guess what? I did. I'm not eating before the appointment. I also weighed with my clothes on so I would know how much to deduct when I step on the scale at the doctor's office this morning. I'm also wearing lightweight summer clothes for the appointment. My appointment is at 10:15. I need to be there by 9:55. My friend down the hall is taking me. Other than that, I'll be working notifications, working on my books, and getting my steps. It should be a good day. I have the paperwork in my purse from the health nurse. The doctor should be pleased with both my weight and A1c. How's your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My rock painting of the cedar waxwing.

@marguicha is right, we always weight more in doctor's scale. I know their scales are a lot more precise. Good luck to you.

Thank you. There have been times when I weighed less than I did at home. That made me happy.

@just4him - I cannot remember if this happened to me, the last time a doctor weighted me was before Covid.

@LadyDuck That was a while ago. It usually happens when I don't eat before I see the doctor and the appointment is later. Which it is today.

@just4him I often think to myself that I should take off all my clothes there

@marguicha I wish I could. That's why I dressed in the lightest weight summer clothes I had. It helped. It also showed I lost a few more ounces than when I weighed myself this morning.

So, do I. This time I'm not eating and wearing light clothes. It should help.

@just4him Oh yeah, on the days I have a fasting clinic appointment..I might not get out of there until like 1pm..although I am not overly hungry I usually find something to eat fairly quickly afterwards.

It worked too. I just finished breakfast and I'm snacking on grapes. I went longer than usual without eating.

@snowy22315 I wasn't hungry until I was on my way home. I like when it works that way.

Congrats on hitting 200. I'm sure that started your day off with a smile all your hard work and determination is paying off. I'm sure your doctor will be very pleased. The past two days my knees didn't hurt as much so I was able to bump up my steps I'm hoping today to be able to do the same.

Thank you. Yes, the doctor was happy with the weight and the fact my A1c is normal. No more prediabetic. I hope you can bump up your steps. I'm glad your knees weren't hurting.

That's wonderful that you've got to that weight. You've worked hard to get to that point.

What a pretty rock painting. Had a loud clap of thunder a little while ago, now it is raining. The front came through faster than the weathermen predicted, weren't supposed to have any rain until this evening. I hope all goes well at your doctor's appointment. Have a blessed weekend.
