More not so great health news....

Hey All,

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and got all my lab results back. Apparently I have been on death's doorbell for quite some time, I'm glad he was out busy collecting others and didn't realize I was trying to get in....sheesh.

A1C = 12.3

Cholesterol: = 230

These were the bad numbers

Everything else was in a decent range, thank GOD!

I have to go to the cardiologist tomorrow and I also get a CT scan tomorrow to figure out what is going on with my lymph node behind my ear, its freaking out on me too.

Either way, I have still been doing well. Nothing remarkable to report. Just trying to keep myself focused on making positive changes and enjoying my life more. Tired of hiding.

Angel posted a comment saying it was too bad it took all of this.....unfortunately, I'm just one of those people....I have to get hit by the bus to move out of the street.

Its okay though, I just know what matters now and I'm excited about changing. I want to see these numbers go down....I will update tomorrow on what happens at the cardiologist.....eeeeeekkkkkkk.

Hugs....

Doing well so far...

Hey again,

So the stats are, I am down from 334 to 323.2 weight wise since the 16th of Janurary. BS wise, I'm down from 589 to 169.....so things are looking up!

I have been cataloging EVERYTHING that I put into my food hole....its actually starting to become a welcomed thing to do. I have walked everyday since the 16th of January as well, except for Sunday. I have officially decided that I take Sunday off.

I made it to 6 laps on Saturday, which is really good because I had only been doing 4 laps. So this week my goal is to walk 5 laps everyday until Saturday and on Saturday I will bump the next week up to 6 laps each day until the following Saturday after that......baby steps.

I have worked myself up to 5 liters of water a day as well. I actually look forward to drinking my water now where as before I would dread it.

Changes are happening.....nearly dying makes it easier to change I guess......hell, whatever works!

Hugs to you all and best wishes on continued motivation and success!!!!
