Well, my doctor’s appointment went well. They were shocked at the weight loss, which ended up being 45 lbs between the two visits. I was told that my heart seems to doing much better and since I’m not experiencing anymore pain that it’s probably reversed itself. They’ll check everything in February when I go back for my physical, but she felt comfortable in clearing me to lift weights and do any other strenuous exercise I choose. If the weight loss continues, they also think I’ll be able to possibly give up my 5 mg high blood pressure pill.

It was some awesome news to hear and today I got back the lab results and all of my numbers made some dramatic drops. Never in my life did I think simply counting calories, not exercising, and not worrying so much about eating more vegetables vs carbs/meats or whatever could result is so much positive changes in my health. Hopefully over the next six months, I can continue to exercise a little more and more, and continue to adapt my eating habits in a more healthy direction, but right now I’m just happy with how everything turned out.

I also got to say, I never expected the response I got from posting my story the other day. That was incredible. Thank you everyone who read it and commented. I felt a lot better going into my doctor appointment knowing there are so many other people out there who understood.
