XPOST: My doctor's appointment today....
Went freaking awesome!!! I woke up at 11:00am today, just vegged on the couch for a while, then got up and went to the gym. Did the 30 minute circuit, then 30 min on the elliptical, showered, then went to the Doctor's office. My blood pressure was 118/74 !!! I'm freakin ecstatic about that! My cholesterol was 228, it's now 197. She wants to do a A1C (diabetic) test the next time I have labs done (October). She wasn't so concerned with my fasting sugar that she needed to do something now... it was 102, and she said that it should be 100... but she still wants to do the diabetic test. Two out of my 4 goals were accomplished today by this appointment. I'm so happy! I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow, and I'm down 51 pounds so far. If someone would have told me that I could have solved two medical conditions (blood pressure and high cholesterol) by having surgery and waiting 8 weeks, I would have called them a liar. I'm so thankful that my health is improving.
