I weighed in at 67.8 kilos. That is a small but still substantial loss of 300 grams. I really was only expecting to maintain this week, so I am quite pleased with the outcome. I have come to terms with not reaching my goal by March 29th, my anniversary, but I have readjusted and desire to reach my goal by the end of April instead. If I keep losing around a kilo every two weeks this should not be a problem.
Today I went to the acute medical centre of the hospital where I had my surgery a few months ago because over the past few days I have been experiencing tingling and partial numbness in my fingers.
They sent me home after speaking with my surgeon who recommended I up my intake of anti-inflammatories and had them prescribe me a strong one. He thinks it is a mild case of inflammation around the same nerve root near the area where I had my surgery.
This didn't make me feel incredible, but it did ease my mind. I am supposed to call my doctor's rooms on Monday to report how I've been feeling. I'm thankful that the physio is going to look at my desk on Monday, because I can't take much more of this.
Sorry if you have had trouble with commenting on my site lately. And that apology comes directly from Blogger, who of course is looking after the problem diligently.
I got a indirect compliment from one of my coworkers yesterday. She said that some other person that works in the centre had asked her where I went when I was on holiday (they thought that my extended medical leave was a holiday) and she said, "What do you mean?" And they said, "She looks like she has lost a lot of weight and looks really healthy..." She said, "She had a disc replaced mate."
Oh, and the best news of the day is I bought a pair of size 10 stretchy corduroy pants and I also finally can wear a pair of size 12 (non-stretch) jeans that look and feel good. I bought these jeans right before my trip to the US and hoped to get into them sooner, but it feels so good to wear them.

And thanks so much for your comment, I still feel kind of embarassed for that post!
BTW, Michele sent me.
Congrats on your weight loss! I am trying to lose a substantial amount myself, so I can understand the frustrations at just holding....but that's better than gaining, but you know another loss will happen eventually!
