My deepest apologies that I didn't do a final "fast-breaking" post; with school back on in session, blogging while on-duty with ten kids in the house and homeschooling Emily is nearly impossible. I feel like I ended it well, and had great results from the doctor with my lab work. My glucose fasting level is back to normal, and my A1C came down from a 6.1 to a 5.9. Yay! My next set of lab work will be done in February and my goal is to try to get my A1C below a 5.7, which would put it back beneath a pre-diabetic level.
So after 3 weeks of liquid feasting, my final results were thus:
Starting Weight: 224
Week 1 Weight: 219.4
Week 2 Weight: 216.2
Ending Weight: 215.4
Total Difference: - 8.6 pounds
Since then, I've lost a bit more and am now down to 213 pounds. I'm looking forward to September! We are having a short vacation back to the Savannah area at the end of the month, and while we are there, I'm running a 5K. I hope to have an new PR for this one for under 40 minutes. I'd also like to lose 5 more pounds before the end of the month, which I think is very doable.
This is going to be short, but hopefully I will post more again on my next off-duty shift!
