All this summer I have not been losing weight as I normally do. Usually September is my biggest weight loss month. (I gain and lose weight like a bear, put on in the Winter and take off in the Summer\/Fall). I had pretty much given up on making a new low, as September ended with me at 218. Not bad, but not below 200 which was my goal. \u00a0Last Autumn I got down to 209.8, a new low and the least I have weighed since I was 31 (weight gain caused by psych drugs, which eventually also caused kidney failure).<\/p>\n
Well, yesterday I found myself at 210. And today it was 209.6, a new low. I don’t know what is happening but I’ll take it.<\/p>\n
I think I am eating enough, and healthily enough (could do better).<\/p>\n
I also passed my 6-month mark at my job. Been a long time since I kept a job this long, and there don’t seem to be any issues.<\/p>\n
Worried about health care — I haven’t heard from DHS about my food stamps, and I probably don’t deserve any, but that also means I don’t get my Medicare premium paid, which hits me in the wallet again. And might mean I have to change Part D supplement plans, which also could mean a premium. I got a letter from Medicare that the plan I’m on consistently rates 1 or 2 stars and that better was available… I went through the menus and was told there were 3 available plans, but when I hit Continue, the page said there were 0 plans. I spent about an hour on the phone with Medicare, to no avail. The website was apparently under heavy use (NOT an Obamacare\/ACA website).<\/p>\n
Guess that’s it for now.<\/p>\n
Hugs,<\/p>\n
