Highlights from this day
- deadspace — the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much 21:31
- deadspace — somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me 21:32
- month_six_me — my knees stopped hurting around 44 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage 22:45
unrelated but a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
the stairs thing yeah
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
congrats
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
follow up anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did

somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
thats the win
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off

my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
ok so 10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, thats one data point
