I am still so surprised that I'm shopping for mediums and size 12s. Size 12s, I have found, seem to be a pretty popular size. On more than a few occasions, I have found a pair of pants or jeans that I absolutely ADORED and all the 12s were gone already. Kind of funny to me.
Today I went to Kohl's to spend my Kohl's Cash and bring a return in. That place was HOPPING crazy. I think everyone else was spending their KC. Anywhooooo I wandered around and found three scarves (can't grow out of those in either direction!) and a pair of size 10 jeans on clearance.
When I picked them up, I was thinking it would be nice to have a couple of size 10s ready to go once my 12s get too big. I decided to try them on just to see how they fit now and I was able to get them on and button/zip....but they were super tight and not presentable to public. LOL I think they may have been on clearance because they were marked on the tag size 10 SHORT, but they were NOT short. I had to roll them up a few inches to avoid tripping. Anywho, they were practically free after my $40 KC plus 20% off.
My 6-month anniversary is coming up on December 16th -- my appointment is the 17th but I don't think I'm going to make their "goal" of 50% excess weight loss by then. I think by my calculations it would be a weight of about 183 and I'm about 10 lbs. short of that. I'm not that worried about it, actually.
One more thing about my Kohl's trip -- I found this off white v-neck sweater that had pink crystals all over the front -- so cute. The only had one left on the model -- size small. I held it up and it looked like it would fit me. It did. A small. A SMALL fit me! But I didn't buy it because it had a snag on the front. Made me happy, though!
I had some labwork done last week and my 6-month primary care physician follow up Thursday. This was THE appointment I was hoping he'd tell me I will be off my high BP and high cholesterol medications. My blood pressure was low -- 107/70 or something. He said that is normal because BP generally lowers with weight loss; however, it was TOO low, so he is reducing my dosage and hopefully I will be off of it in 3 months...he didn't want to take me off cold turkey.
The cholesterol was the complete opposite -- it had gone from the high 80s/low 90s to over 140, so I am to remain on my cholesterol meds and will be rechecked in 3 months. I admitted to him that I had been slacking pretty good on my meds so he wanted me to be more consistent with taking them daily.
That is all for now! Happy holidays!
