Injection day #1, Loading day #1: Well, here we go again!

I have to admit, I've been a bad bad girl over the last two weeks, and haven't even stepped on the scales, so I'm certain I'm above LIW. We'll see what the final number is on Monday when I begin the first VLCD.

Good news on the health front! I went to my endocrinologist on Wednesday, and my blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol were all well within "normal" range, and that's without taking ANY medication at all. My liver enzymes are still a little bit high, but they had gotten a lot better, as well. Before the weight loss, they were dangerously high. Also, I've noticed that my GERD has completely disappeared. It feels so good to be healthier! And I'm looking forward to things getting better and better through this next phase.

Tonight, some friends and I are going to "The Melting Pot", which is a fondue restaurant in Dallas - it's one of my favorite places! Tomorrow will be dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant. In addition, I'm trying to get in a lot of healthy fats so that the hunger the first week isn't so bad.

So - away we go! I'll be posting more regularly through this 46-day round, and am always happy to have your comments. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you tomorrow!
