Got my test results and they aren't so good. Blood pressure, total cholesterol, glucose, and A1C are all slightly elevated. Compared my weight to last year and that's up too of course. I know there are lots of people, who would love to have my test results, because the elevation is only slight, but it puts me into prediabetic. Yuk! I'm taking it as a warning to get more serious with trying harder to improve my health. I think the best thing for me might be to go back to being a vegetarian to get everything down again. I'm thinking of trying pescatarian instead though, because I really love my seafood. Weird things happening doesn't help either. Got a phone call yesterday from my office phone, which should not happen since it is a phoneline that was assigned to me. The caller sounded like one of my coworkers trying to disguise his voice by holding his nose. He asked to talk to me and I asked who it is. The person held on for a few seconds and hung up. I told my hubby and he said there's been a weird person walking around the parking lot where he works. He said that they are wearing a hoodie and pull the hood over their face, when they see him. Who wears a hoodie in 80+ degree weather? It just makes me feel like someone is still watching me, but it really can't be confirmed yet. Oh well, I'll just have to try not to let it all bother me and focus on myself.

Lab tests and doctor visits often motivate me and it sounds like you are motivate to improve the results. It's good everything is only slightly out of the normal range. In spite of my weight, so far I haven't had issues with blood sugar or blood pressure. However, twice my cholesterol numbers have been slightly out of the normal range. The first time I stopped eating eggs, shrimp and red meat until the next time my doctor checked my cholesterol, 6 months and everything was fine. I bought frozen shrimp for the first time in about 5 years. I am trying to limit eggs and shrimp to no more than twice a week. I don't eat red meat often, although I cooked a burger yesterday. Pescatarian sounds like a good way to go!

I could probably handle being a pescatarian but can't do vegetarian again. Yikes on the call and the parking lot weirdo.

I kind of broke my train. My sister brought a loaf of French bread and tons of pistachios for me. I made myself bruschetta for super yesterday, saw the rest of the loaf sitting there beckoning to me. Made more bruschetta for lunch today. Still had some left over....I finally said, "No" and gave the remaining to my feathered friends. The pistachios are on the menu for tonight's snack.

I hope everything turns out okay with the weird all and hoodie guy. Very disturbing indeed. Keep staying watchful. You can do it.

I know for me, going with a minimal eggs and dairy pescetarian diet has done my weight and lab work a lot of good. And I absolutely love the food. Doesn't work for everyone, but if you've found it to be successful and sustainable, I say go for it 👍
