Wow

I may have mentioned that I have stupid lupus and a whole bunch of other diseases. I take upwards of 10 medications (different prescriptions, not pills) per day and get a monthly infusion. So with all that going on, my metabolism has crashed and my weight loss has been an intense struggle. I have completely changed my diet/lifestyle in the last 6 months so every pound loss is a huge victory for me.

So I'm sitting here in the infusion room with an IV in my left hand (yes, I can type with an IV anywhere in my body - it's an art) and my infusion nurse tells me I'm a full 10lbs lighter than I was last time I was here.

Wow. I have no words. I know I've been working on it, but I haven't been able to exercise due to stupid lupus and other random diseases wreaking havoc on my body. I've been trying to eat well, rest as much as possible and sleeping. But it's been working.

So it's not a Wednesday weigh in but I am ridiculously proud of myself. 42lbs down, another 53 to go.
