health concerned
This morning I went to the doctor's office again to have my blood tested. There's not much more fun than spending an hour in the doctor's office... especially when 55 of those minutes are spent in the waiting room. Anyway, It was a follow up test because my triglycerides were insanely high in the last test. Rich said the last time he was tested, his were in the mid 80s. Mine were in the low 500s. yup... insanity. Hopefully it's just a glitch, though I don't really know what having high a level of triglycerines means for my health. I read a little on it. Hopefully, I won't have to take medicine to get the levels down. Hopefully, I can return to normalcy by reducing my sugar intake and exercising. I actually started tonight. I needed to start exercising anyway. I'm out of shape. I weighed around 10 pounds more at the doctor's visit than I thought I did. My resting heart rate is pretty fast. I can feel my cardio-vascular system working hard while I'm just laying here. Hopefully, the excess baggage I picked up over the last year will go away without much of a fight. I don't expect to get back to my college weight any time soon. I hope to get down to at least between what I weigh now(160lbs) and what I weighed then (125lbs). Besides, I'm getting married in a couple of months. It'd be good to increase my stamina and strength for the more active parts of wedded bliss.
