Hey there,

I have been meaning to rejoin Simple Savings but the task has been buried somewhere.

Today, my husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary.

As we were reminiscing, SS topic came about.

And I had to put "rejoin SS" on the top of my task list.

Anyways, I'm grateful Simple Savings is still here.

This is a nice place to be and I still remember how lovely the people are.

Hope you're all well

E

Had my annual bloods done after our New Year road trip filled with almond chai, Fruchocs, icypoles and easy travel stop carb food - oh hi there Maccas/ Hungry Jacks/ country bakeries. 🤤🤤

Blood sugar reading of 6 at fasting and Dr wants me on metformin.

Yikes.

I suppose this the blood wake up call I needed. I'd like to avoid pricking fingers and taking meds and I KNOW I can do it. I managed to keep my gestational diabetes under control by NOT listening to the endocrinologist and going low carb.

I have toddlers. Stay at home parent. I can do this. The kids need carbs. I don't. They need fit and healthy parents.

I received the news on Tuesday last week and took measurements on Wednesday.

I booked in for lymphatic drainage massage to help shift blocked and painful fluid around my arms and legs. Feeling like a new human ready to tackle the world.

Starting weight 91.55 kg

I realized I hadn't posted this yet. 🤦‍♀️ I know I'll be more accountable if I post here!

I've dropped 1.45 kg in the past week. Probably mostly water weight as I'm feeling much better walking around without too much pain. There's a few more hot days to end January with and I have to postpone my follow up MLD massage so fingers crossed for no flares. 🤞
