March . . . .

March started off with a visit to the Doctor. Only because my Sister and Mother were asking me what my blood pressure and sugar levels were.

I have to say one of my least favorite things to do is visit the doctor. Usually there is some comment about weight, reminding me that I need to loose weight and exercise. But I felt good about this visit, because I had been loosing weight.

However that balloon popped as soon as the doctor walked in. Seems I didn't take into consideration that it had been more then a year since my last visit, and my weight loss was just a pound or two below were I was last time I was in. So no "GOOD GOING GIRL" for me.

As a matter of fact EKG's and blood work were ordered as blood pressure was a little high at 170/95. Luckily my EKG came back good.

So meds were started for blood pressure and cholesterol, as if my blood pressure is that hi so must my cholesterol. I go back in 30 days to double check the status of both and see where we go from there.

While momentarily discouraged, it actually helped to instill my belief that NOW is the time for my Life Sytle Change!
