Went to the dreaded dr. appt.. Woke up about 5am so nervous about it. Tummy was doing sommersaults. Totally ridiculous, but you can't turn off your brain. The dr. is so darn nice, I don't even know what my problem in...

Anyway....hypertension! Tried to negotiate waiting on medication for my weight to drop some more, but no way. Sad.

Good news...she said my lipid panel was "to be envied"! NEVER had anyone say that to me before!

Go back in a month....

Deb: very proud of you for keeping your Dr. appointment. I envy you having good lipid levels...mine are not so good. Remember they call hypertension "The Silent Killer"...probably best to follow her/his advice on this one!

I'm happy to report that I rode my bike today for 35 min.
I've been having a very tough time these last two weeks. Tough to the point that I spoke with my doctor about it and she's put me on a drug for SAD. I realise that it's too early to tell, but I did wake up much earlier this morning than I normally do. I'm hoping that that's a good sign.
Thanks!
