Health Journey 2026 - Day 30 & Doctor Appointment Tomorrow

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Soon I need to get some sleep with having to get up early to get Eli to school. However, soon after dropping him off, I will have to head out of town to make it to my doctor appointment. I am seeing my endocrinologist. I was hoping I would have at least got to the 15 pounds lost point by then, but been struggling with that since my last carb day. I am hoping at least my A1c is a good number. I know one month of improvement won't fully show up in a 3 month average. I hope he will run some other tests so I can have a starting point (well even though it's a month late) so I know how much I improve 6 months from now, 1 year from now, and so on. I'll share how that goes on tomorrow night, or the next day probably. Anyways -- how did I do today on my last day before the appointment? Meal 1 - 8 oz petite sirloin steak (this was so good) cooked in 1 tablespoon of butter (there was more cooked than just my portion) Meal 2 - Hamburger patty, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, a little sugar free barbecue sauce Meal 3 - 4 oz salmon with 1 tablespoon of butter Macros -- 1,265 calories, 2 carbs, 94 fat, 98 protein The numbers for today look a lot better, over 1200 calories and protein is up. Oh, and my blood sugars were mostly good except for going up a bit around my first meal. My CGM was still adjusting though so that could have been wrong. It can be off for the first 12 hours at least. Not sure if that will mean any weight loss on the scale tomorrow though - we'll see. What do you think?

Good luck at the endo appointment tomorrow, hope that A1c surprises you in a good way. Meals look solid today, that steak sounds amazing honestly. Even if the scale don't move much, having a real starting point on the other tests is worth a lot.

Well my a1c was higher than I expected, but my CGM average was great and that's what he trusts more. It moved me down to just prediabetic range
