DAY EIGHT...

Today was my first clinical meeting at St. E. Ft. Thomas.
I arrived around 4:20 and was called back at 4:30pm.
I had to fill out a weekly questionnaire, talk to the nurse to discuss my 1st week on NutriMed, have my blood pressure taken and my heart listened too. And then the BIG moment arrived….da-da-da-da…the dreaded doctor’s scale-my life long nemesis.
As I walked out of the exam room and headed down the hospital hall I felt like I was in the old Twilight Zone series. It was the episode that the man was walking down a hallway and the further he walked the longer the hallway became almost impossible to get to the end. Sorry went off on a tangent for a minute there and really showing my age too. Does anyone even remember the Twilight Zone?
Anywho, I got upon the scale and I LOST 10 POUNDS!
Yes I was excited and the nurse too. Whew, glad that was over.
I was then scheduled to go to the lab and have blood drawn and a urine specimen taken. My only thought was hurry and take any and all of the blood needed just let me go to the bathroom. The lab technician asked if I thought that I could fill up the cup. I looked at her and said, I could fill up all of the cups on the 5 tier shelf  with no problem what so ever.  She looked at me and laughed. I guess she thought that I was kidding. NOT!
I am drinking approximately 100+ ounces of water each day. Hence the multiple time (thousand) bathroom runs throughout the day and night.
I finished giving my sample and headed back to the outpatient entrance to pay and pick up my upcoming shakes for this week. I decided to only get Chocolate and Vanilla because I needed a break from strawberry. Even though I like the strawberry I cannot get it out of my head that it reminds me of Pepto-Bismol. I’m giving it a break at least for this week and then rethink my decision at next Tuesday’s clinical.
All for all I am a very happy man who is 10 pounds lighter than I was last Tuesday. My current weight is 234 pounds and I have 42 pounds to go.
<<< GOAL 190 POUNDS>>>
