Just Some Ramblings

A little disappointed that this week the scale just sat at the same number.  The goal of a month with losses each weigh in did not happen.  Still two more Sundays, now to get them to move.  The doctor's visit this week was a mixed blessing.  The weight as I knew was up some from my last visit. But as she pointed out still a lot better than in the beginning.  Blood pressure was great, liver enzymes staying level, thyroid fine, good cholesterol was great but the bad was up again, 159.  Have 6 months to get it back in line or back to medicine (even with liver issue).  Really do not want that.  The good news, the triglycerides were good, loved that since they were the problem part before.  I was just a little surprised the bad cholesterol was where it was.  Did not think the cut back on exercise would effect that as strongly as it did.  The food did not change much over this period so think it is the exercise change.  That foot surgery can not come soon enough.  It will be so nice to be back to it once the healing is done.  

While watching a show a statement was made about eating after seven in the evening.  The doctor said if you do not eat in the evening then you will be hungry in the morning.  If you are not hungry then you must be nibbling or over eating.  I do not find that to be true.  Granted my cut off is eight but usually it is earlier.  Even for the blood test (needed fasting) which I could not get in early I was not hungry that day.  Since shortly after starting this, hunger is not an issue.  Not sure why hunger does not kick in but it is not from over eating.  Watching portions, determined to have numbers all stay in healthy zones.   Just found it annoying that the doctor in the interview would make a flat statement.  Sorry, Rant over.
