gilliansings's Journal, 25 June 2014

I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but I'm guessing I'm still maintaining. My gut is giving me grief and my back is acting up, so exercise is on the back burner (I did my workout dvd on Monday night, but there's no way I can do my walking tonight).

My back was so bad yesterday that I had to take today off from work. So, I'm not going to risk hurting myself worse by working out.

I got my lab results today. Overall, everything looks fine. My fasting blood sugar was 84, so I don't have to stress about pre-diabetes. That's a relief. Unfortunately, my LDL and overall cholesterol went up again. This, despite exercising, losing weight, taking both fiber and fish oil every day. Grrr. I guess I may need to consider going back on Lipitor or something similar.

I took my son for another dental procedure and our norm is to go get Dairy Queen to make him feel better. Usually we just go through the drive-through, but today the line was really long so we went inside.

What a test of my willpower. A 10-minute wait in line followed by a 10-minute wait for his food. This isn't the first time I've watched someone else get food, but today was just hard. I'm proud of myself for NOT getting anything. I never really feel good after eating fast food anyway, so I just keep reminding myself of that.

On the good news front, I will be picking my elder son up from the airport tomorrow night. He is coming home from 10 months in Sweden (a college year abroad). I'm so excited! He'll probably need to sleep for most of Friday, but hopefully Saturday we'll be able to catch up. My younger son is already plotting what game to play as a family, lol.

Rockytu, I feel for you. I am very grateful that my blood pressure has always been good. I guess I should look at my cholesterol the same way. Just a fact of genetics. Ny_shelly, you are so sweet! Yeah, it is all kind of routine for me now. I hope I can continue, although the pounds are becoming more difficult to take off.
