Raining today. Supposed to let up around 9, 10 AM, may try running then. I like to run early though, so it's frustrating, but rain fries my electronics, and I love to listen to music while running. Got an awesome $5 deal on wireless over the head earphones that work with Bluetooth on an after Christmas clearance sale, and so far, so good. I never can keep earbuds in, and lately, I have been having one side on wired headphones go out on various brands while running. I looked it up online and it has to do with the repetitive motion & the wires (and possibly them catching on my Fitbit or just being not as good as they once were because wired earphones used to last me over a year, not just a couple runs or almost a month at the longest). Also, I have the Fitbit I don't want to fry. It's a Fitbit Surge, which they discontinued though I think they may still sell some on Amazon and definitely refurbished on eBay (where I got mine). I like it because it is one of the few Fitbits with built in GPS that does not require your cellphone Bluetooth for GPS (much cheaper than the Fitbit Ionic, which I think is maybe the only other one with built in GPS, IDK, could be a newer one that has the GPS).

See the pdoc tomorrow, first time since November as he let me have 3 phone appts. since last coming in. I hate the thought of the scale. My weight has not changed much, but I am more compact from running a lot, so I look smaller, and with the time gap too, he will probably weigh me and likely send me to the PCP for labs as I have not had any done since June. He has not been happy with my weight since I fully recovered from my ulcer surgery (maybe June 2018 or so?); before then, I guess he figured it was OK I had lost weight because a perforated ulcer surgery is very radical and causes rapid weight loss (you can look up the standard treatment online and see what I mean if you like). But my old pdoc never fretted about weight in this range. Hopefully, once he sees that I more or less maintain in a 5 lb. range or so, he will get over it. He was already all on about hospitalization when I weighed a couple pounds more (my old pdoc would not have been) or going on Remeron (never, never again; I never felt full no matter how much I ate on that drug, ever, so I threw it out; it also made me extremely tired all day). And he has a stupid scale that weighs 5 lb. lower than everyone else's (mine, my PCP, the dermatologist, the GI doc). I don't know if he realizes this or if he calibrates it that way to make up for the possibility of water loading, but it makes your weight look worse than it is if you are on the low end.
