I Found Out My Current Weight Today Rather than Saturday

[EleanorNC]

Today, I had an appointment with my radiation oncologist.  She had treated me, I believe, about two years ago for Stage 0 Paget's disease of the breast.  After surgery I had a series of radiation treatments.  Paget's is a form of Breast cancer.  I had a mammogram on Monday, which is always immediately interpreted by a radiologist at this particular hospital.  I was told on Monday that the mammogram was normal, and that visit is now routinely followed by an appointment with the radiation oncologist.  These visits take place once a year.  So today the nurse who interviewed me before the doctor came in also weighed me.  With clothes and shoes, I weighed 124.4 pounds.  I believe that, in order to fit into my size two pants, I will probably have to lose 15 - 20 pounds.  So that is my goal.

This morning at 9:45, I am on my way to see my radiation oncologist.  Since on Monday I had a cancer-free mammogram, I assume I will get a good report from her.  Here are some of the strategies to improve my weight loss:  1) Weigh myself every Saturday morning after eating breakfast 2) Hydration goal 8 8-oz. glasses of liquids--more water instead of juice  3)  Two cups of coffee a day to keep my energy level up 4) Stick to my prudent mostly plant-based diet 5) Do vigorous walk with the walkers club at the building for seniors where I live 5) Do the Nu-Step at maximum weight resistance for 1/2 hour while reading my daughter's book (published author--brag, brag; full professor of law at a top-10 law school--brag, brag)  6) Start using the treadmill and the arm-exercise machine and building up to greater speeds/resistance.That's all I could think of regarding weight loss.  Have a great day!!
