Health Stats, revisited
I did this a year ago, but I thought it would be good to do it again. Health is more than weight loss. Right now I'm only seeing weight loss, but if I don't keep track I'll never know when the other stuff does change. Some of the stats will be blank for now, I need to get some diagnostic tests done. I do know my hba1c, though, because they took it two weeks ago when I went to the ER for my UTI. I should have the other stats in a few weeks.

| Weight | 235.5 | 219.5 |
| Clothing size | 22 | 22 |
| Average blood sugar | 101 | 88 |
| HbA1C | 5.4% | 4.7% |
| Total cholesterol | 259 | -- |
| LDL | 152 | -- |
| HDL | 46 | -- |
| Triglycerides | 301 | -- |
| Thigh | 25.5 inches | 24.5 |
| Upper arm | 14.5 inches | 13.5 |
| Waist | 50 inches | 48 |
| Hips | 49 inches | 45 |
| Chest - below | -- | 43 |
| Underbelly to bellybutton* | -- | 6 |
| Blood pressure | 124 over 78 | -- |
* This is a measurement I came up with to see if my belly is sagging less. This is the most useful measurement for me, it seems that my belly has lifted 1 inch in the past couple of weeks (I wish I had written down the date of my last measurement!). That's really good, I think, because my belly may not be shrinking around, but it is shrinking up.
