    Hopefully, your blood work will come back better than you anticipate. I had mine in January and I have a few things to work on but it wasn't too bad. My vitamin D was low so I take a supplement. My LDL cholesterol was a bit high but I'm confident that the healthy eating I've adopted through using MFP will take care of that.

    My non-blood work issue is that my blood pressure was creeping upward. My systolic was fine but my diastolic was averaging 83 most days. I'm sure being sedentary and overweight added to that. As I increase my exercise, it seems to be inching down.

    Like you, I have good days and bad days. I have a tough time if I don't get enough sleep because I don't have the resilience to make choices that get me to my goals.

    Good luck on your blood work!

    Thank you ;) I hope for the best also but I'm prepared to hear the worst. My LDL cholesterol was really bad about 4 yrs ago when I last went to get blood work before I got prego. Then the last month of pregnancy I had gestational diabetes so.... That's what scares me. From then to now I've gained about 15-20 lbs. not good.
    I hope your blood pressure keeps going down and that we both reach our goals.

    Keep sweating and eat well.....and may the odds be ever in our favor.

    Felt sluggish today. Didn't think I'd use the tred but I just have to get rid of some weight so I conquered my Sloth and burned atleast 400cal. Took me an hour cause I just speed walked it while watching Son Of God on Netflix but something is better than nothing ;)
    Together as one, the odds are in our favor

    Keep it up, great job! :) Just in case you didn't know, there's a personal blog here on MFP that you can use to post these updates, rather than posting in a thread in the public forums, but of course which one you prefer is up to you. The forum is nice because more people are likely to see it/find it, and the blog is nice because you can easily find your posts after a year or so and compare yourself to the posts when you were just starting out. :)

    I haven't been to a dr. In about 6 years. I'm afraid. I think I might get diabetes. But I actually feel ok and everything works. I keep telling myself that ill go when I quit smoking and lose some more lbs.
