GIVING UP WINE = WEIGHT LOSS AND LOWER BLOOD SUGAR!

Kathy in Cartagena, Colombia

Here I am on the wall of the Spanish fortress in Cartagena with a view of the city in the background. And what a beautiful city it is! We had a fantastic time there following our trip to Panama and the Panama Canal.

I've been off all alcohol for 49 days now and it's resulted in my losing 5 pounds so far. Even better, I ate pretty much what I wanted to eat on vacation as well. I came home and went to the laboratory to have blood work drawn. All my blood tests came back great! My blood sugar was only 71! A little on the low side. Guess I'm not going to have to worry about diabetes, or anything else right now. Still, it isn't enough weight loss to keep my joints from hurting so I'm still plugging along. So far so good.
