Scared Shytless!
So my doctor called me back today.. she said she sent me my test results in the mail, I wouldn't know b/c I check my mail maybe once a week.. Anyway, she said the cholesterol was indeed high, I need to change my diet, incorporate more fruits and veggies and exercise.. and LOSE the weight! I see a nutrionist in 2 wks but in addition to that, she wants me to take a cholesterol class and a weight management class. Not only is my cholesterol high, but my blood sugar is at 96, not too far from 99 which is considered border line diabetic. So ladies, there's no more thinking about it, I HAVE TO DO THIS.. It has to be second nature for me.. It's for my life's sake. I'm going to have her test me again in 6 months to see if I'm progressing.. Hopefully the issue will be solved in less time.. My co-worker had tested for high cholesterol and she changed her diet, lost 20lbs and she was fine. Hopefully, that will be the case for me. I know I eat too much cheese, dairy and burgers.. just grease period.. and I eat out too much.. so if I stop eating out.. that alone will probably show a big difference.
I never thought my health would be in jeopardy.. This is hard to swallow.
Anyway, I've had a very good day w/ my eating.. No walking at lunch, it was 90 degrees outside today w/ a HOT breeze.. But I'll go to the gym tonight.. It's been over a month.
So far this is what I've consumed...
B: Oatmeal-160
S: 4 choc M&M's-60
L: Lean Cuisine- Fetuccini Alfredo-280 & small ceasar salad w/ 4 croutons from La Bou.. 1.5 tbsp of dressing-- 260
S: Medium orange--86 cals & cup of sugar free jello-- 10 cals
D: I don't know yet.. I have around 650 cals to spare.. I'll choose wisely though.. something lean
I also have to pay attention to my saturated fat intake.. something I've never paid attention to before..
That's it for now.. TTYL!
