Health Update

Monthly Dr. visit today. My weight is only down a few pounds - this is where going to the gym actually works against me, but blood pressure and pulse were both good, so they are happy. Biggest improvement - my blood test was excellent. I've gotten my sugars down into 'normal', and I'm fine. Dropped from an 6.7 down to a 5.8 (under 6.0 by this scale is good) Yay! Next vampire session in 2 months. Thank god! I was so frantic I'd have to go through needles today, that I was almost panicking.

So, how I've been eating and being careful is paying off and working. Though it sure is hard cutting out breads, pasta and rice! I've always been pretty good about eating veggies, but now I'm careful not to have a lot of potato's, heavier on the veggies, and very light on breads, pasta and rice.

I've had to go in every month because he's got me on an appetite suppresant drug (that's been helping actually), to boost my metabolism. I always have tried to lose weight, and get stuck with losing some, and then not getting any further.

Well, hey, you're making the effort, that's a very big deal. Crikey, appetite suppresant? I didn't even know that was something you could get!

Hmmm... you've been so supportive to me while I've been quitting smoking (and yes, i can confirm that I have still not had a ciggie since sunday night - REALLY, REALLY wanted one all day today though - I've been off work) SO... you go girl! *waves pom-poms* *realises how ridiculous 'you go girl' sounds with an english accent* *cringes at my silly cheerleader reference*

*hugs*

yea, I gave in and asked for SOMETHING to help, and they said appetite suppresant, of course, then you have to be 'monitored' closely and all that, but it's helping, so I don't care. Biggest problem was my metabolism, as its really slow, and this also helps there too, so double plus.

*Yay* on ciggie free days! *does the pom-pom dance*

And thanks :)
