Slimming down

Sew cute!, originally uploaded by Kodamakitty.

It's getting late and I am getting sleepy, but I wanted to post a quick note about how things are going. This morning it looks as though I've lost 10 pounds since I began taking the metformin. Yay, me! Tonight I had a bit of a heavier dinner out with my mom, but it felt good to see such a large difference between my starting weight and today.

I found this adorable tape measure at Target for $1, along with one shaped like a dinosaur and one shaped like an elephant. I guess kids must love the measure stuff, since it was in the party favors aisle.

I haven't measured myself yet, but my clothes seem a bit looser and Geoffrey commented on my slightly shrinking stomach. I like having these as a sort of talisman - it's a reminder that I only need to "measure up" to my standards, as long as I am healthy and able to do what I want to do.

I hope to post a couple of book reviews in the next couple of weeks - the end of the semester is fast approaching, and there's a lot to get done at work and here around the house. My system seems to have adjusted to the meds once again - tonight's dinner was prime rib from the Texas Roadhouse and that's a fairly fatty (and therefore DELICIOUS) cut of meat but so far, no major stomach rumblings.

Once side effect I do notice is that I am sleeping more soundly and that I fall asleep quickly, and that sounds very good right now. I hope you have a good week.
