So yesterday I met with Dr. Mary Fox, my physician at BMI (the Institute). (She’s great by the way!) And she was most pleased with my progress -- and I do mean pleased!

I am indeed getting healthy. For instance, my blood pressure was 118 over 60. (I asked her if I could start eating salt – she just laughed.) My good cholesterol has bumped up from 37 (below normal range) to 41 (within range). My A1c has gone down to 6.8 – we were aiming to get it under 7. Etc., etc.

But the thing that really brought a smile to my face, was to step on her scales and have her say, “It looks like 300 to me.”
