WW - Day 130 Merely Overweight

I was waiting to see the doctor yesterday, staring at the walls of my small examining room. Hung amongst the hotel-room artwork and large laminated posters was the BMI chart, an irritating reminder of the work ahead and seemingly endless journey toward a ridiculous goal. But I noticed something this time. At some point over the last couple of weeks, my weight moved from the red (alarm!) obese column to the yellow (caution!) overweight column.

Another milestone. One I wasn't even looking for, which makes it that much better.

FOOD - Ah food. Had a little bit of a struggle last week for some reason. Quantity was more the problem -- but I was also craving salt. That with reduced water intake made for a back-slide on the scale, but as of this morning my scale says I've made it back plus more. I'm hoping to be on target for 44 by my 44th.

MOOD - Blahs and crabbies lately. But better since I found out I'm merely overweight (!) I did have a little scare after the 6.2 mile CROP Walk. My heart was racing for over four hours afterward. This is why I found myself at the doctor's office -- to follow up and make sure I was not having the first signs of heart problems. It was most likely dehydration, but they drew blood to be sure.
