It was a stressful week last week - preparing my little one (16) to leave home for the year to play hockey in another province. Ugh... I was doing ok until the last few days when his girlfriend would come visit. I could clearly see the distress in both of them as they looked at the dwindling days and hours ahead of them. He was strong and brave though and when we dropped him at the airport on monday, he gave us all hugs and then quickly turned away to go through security.
I know it was because he was likely crying and didn't want us to see him. But chatting with him later that night he sounded really good. I'm very proud of him. We head to see him on friday and will spend a week with him and then I will visit each month. The 7 months should go by quickly.... at least I hope so. I miss him already.
There were a few celebrations this week. We had the boys going away party with the addition of dad's birthday party. I only had a sliver of cake (it was really good)! But I did tend to drink a bit more wine than I usually do on the weekend/weeknight. Next week probably won't be very good for that either.
It's my time of the month this week as well- started yesterday. Oh yay!
Oh and got a call back from the lab that my blood test numbers were out of whack and I need to revisit the doctor. Great... it's my WBC. It's high again at 11.2. I was reading around though and it looks like that can increase when the cholesterol also increases due to this diet. I guess I'll get retested. I feel awesome though, so I don't think it's an infection....
I always hover between 8.5 ad 11.5... I've been as high as 15.6 before as well.
Off next week to see little man so not sure I'll update but will try. Even if it's just a sentence or two.
Weight this week was down 2 lbs... I need to get new bras!! Which is great... and not so great. Hate bra shopping

Another Year, another Physical
This one was different. Doc was PUMPED at my weight loss. He was so excited he mentioned it a few times. I told him what I was doing and he seemed happy and did not have any concerns.
He said my skin looked much clearer and everything else appeared to be in working order!
My blood pressure was high. But I explained to him that it was low in the morning 110/85 but in the office it jumped to 150/90. At the time I was wearing nothing but a white paper sheet however. I said, c'mon!!
I asked what I could do to reduce my BP meds. He said we can revisit in a few months but I would have to go back to wear the 24 hour test monitor as he can never get a good reading from me in the office (damn, white coat syndrome)!!!
The u/s that I had on my boob last month did show some abnormalities. Nothing overly alarming but they want to revisit it in 6 months and ultra sound it again. BOO!!! Oh well, no sense in stressing it now, right.
My weight was down again today to 185!!
I'm starting to stress about little man moving away next week. I think I'll end up visiting him every month until he's back in April! :(

Short Update
Not much to report. Was a pretty ho hum week with a long weekend at the end!!! YAY
Had a few BBQs to attend this weekend but made great choices. It is becoming so much easier to find foods and make adjustments. But still nobody said anything to me about how I look any different!
I feel different though, so for now that is good enough for me! And my clothes fit so much better than they did a few months ago.
I have my annual check up on friday. A bit worried about it but we will see what he says. I'll update after the checkup so that I have a record for myself.
Weight was down again to 187 yesterday which is down from last week but not greatly down from 2 weeks ago. Have to start tracking again and see where my numbers are at. I might have to redo my numbers again as well seeing as I'm down 20. I have read that it's best to readjust numbers every 20 or so lbs.
I will do that.
Not much else..... until Friday or likely monday because the appointment is at the end of my day on friday.
