I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath for my medical test results to come back… so without further ado… I am diabetes and thyroid-problem free! I kinda knew in my heart that I’d probably be okay – and with that, my diagnosis is: obesity, slow metabolism, overactive imagination.
Because it was my lucky day, the doc also threw in a cholesterol test. My cholesterol is still in the good healthy level, but my triglycerides are creeping up a bit. With my steady diet of butter, bacon and cheese, I haven’t the slightest idea why! I jest, I jest. Kind of.
So! What’s the moral from this? The moral is – as always – that worrying gives small things big shadows. I need to learn to stop morphing these small things into giant, colossal boulders that I try to roll around in my head. However, I also need to stay focused on getting healthy, which means shedding these 40 extra pounds.
This weekend my sister is visiting me, and we’re going to start our day with a trip to exercise with Richard Simmons at Slimmons. It’s a good reminder that exercise CAN be fun if I’m doing the right kind – and it’s a perfect reminder for next week’s goal, which is to exercise at least three times. You keep me accountable, readers. Thank you <3
What’s your goal for next week?
Oh! I like that. I’m stealing that. “worrying gives small things big shadows.” Yes ma’am, stealing that. 🙂
Glad you’re okay!
YAY!!! Happy to hear that all is okay 🙂
Have fun at Richard Simmons class!! So jealous!! If I’m ever in town I expect you will take me to one 🙂 Have fun!!
So happy! And you make me smile the way you write, you’re so talented. Glad that you figured it out and are on the right track!
