Good morning, and happy Friday the 13th! Erica is only 15 pounds shy of 100 pounds lost, and that should be soon. And no, we haven't unearthed the skinnier slacks yet, but we really need to get busy before we get embarrassed. We'll probably do that over this long weekend.
I've gotten the stationary bike out and she should be starting on that sometime this weekend as well, which will accelerate the weight loss. We'll need to start slowly and make allowances for that arthritic left hip, but things should work out fine.
We also go back to Todd the orthotics guy today. I forgot to blog that we went to him this past Tuesday, and, although we hate to admit it, he was right; Erica doesn't need that one-inch lift any more! He took out the instep from her New Balance running shoe, traced it, and made an orthotic from it. We'll go pick it up today. And the good news is that the device will fit in her Birkenstocks as well. Speaking of them, I took them back to Milano Shoe Repair on Wednesday and asked them to remove the lift. I'll pick them up this coming Wednesday.
The interesting part about not needing the lift any more is that Erica is now free of the shoulder pain that happened when she was leaning on her walker. I guess her whole body was out of balance and is now, with the weight loss, slowly realigning itself. It's just an amazing process, with new things revealed almost every day.
