Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 30, July 27, 2020

Weekly Weigh In will go live every Monday, and it will share how I'm doing health-wise, and it will give me more accountability with my health.

Here is my thirtieth weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, July 27, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight is went up a pound.  I am dealing with water retention due to the crazy amount of heat and humidity we have going on right now, so 1 lb. isn't too insane.  Hopefully, though, I can get back to weight loss next week.

3. Health News: I averaged just under 8,800 steps per day last week.  I am hoping to get at least my 6,000 steps per day average this week, and will do so as long as I can be out and about.

My Endocrinologist appointment is set for October.  I have mixed feelings about it, and may try to see if I can get something sooner in a closer location (this one is over an hour away).  We'll see.

I'm still doing well if I follow my rules, so that's good.  Chiropractic is still being beneficial, too.  I'm to see my doctor next month for my physical as well as my OBGYN to check on the PCOS.  We'll see how all that goes.

4. Diet News:  I feel like I'm doing pretty well.  Still looking for some new foods to try, and have decided that some things are not worth it.  I was enjoying some sugar-free candies and some sugar-free, high protein ice cream at times, but I honestly just can't tolerate most of them.  I'm finding there are a few sugar-free mints and sugar-free gums that are ok if I don't have much of them, but the rest just really have too many carbs (sugar alcohols, normally) and not enough fat/fiber/protein in them to prevent them from messing with my heart rate.  I do ok with homemade smoothies, so I'll just keep those as my sweet treat and forget the rest.  That's healthier for me, anyway.

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For nearly 10 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He appears to be stable (as long as he takes his medication), but we'd like to be able to figure out what the source of the issue is so that he can go off the medication if at all possible.  He sees the doctor on Friday (mainly to see if he needs a lift due to a leg length discrepancy), and I look forward to speaking with her about it all.  We appreciate your prayers and thoughts!  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, another insane week.  My youngest turns 10 (What!?!? Where does time go!?!), we're still working on the washer/water issues (the washer is at least working, but only on one setting), along with some other house maintenance issues, and lot of other things.  I'm hopeful that we can get the water issue sorted by the weekend, but that may not happen.  Please pray that we can get the water/washer issue fixed before it becomes urgent.  Thanks so much!

How are you doing?  Do you have anything you want to weigh in with?  Any health progress or goals you want to share?  If so, please leave a comment below (with a link to your post, if you have one and wish to leave it), and I'll respond ASAP.

Have a great week!
