Tears of Joy

I stopped by the doctor's office today to see if I could get the results of my last A1C. Several months ago I was at 7.5. Since then I've been working hard to bring it down. I was hoping to be under 7. Well, the magic number today was 5.6. FIVE POINT SIX! I was so overwhelmed that I sat in my car and cried.

I also had my InBody Scan redone at the gym. Those numbers are improving as well. My total weight and body fat mass are both lower (not by much, it's only been five weeks). Even better, my skeletal muscle mass went up. Why? Squats! (Actually, exercise in general. But telling myself it's the squats helps me hate them less.)

I've still got a long way to go on this journey to health. However, it's nice to see that I'm headed in the right direction.

Yay Kelley!
