Doctor week

Published by maxiegirl at 7:58 pm under Exercise, Feeding the body, writing Edit This

Today was the first day of doctor week.  I line up my doctor visits so I can keep track of them.  Today was a visit to Endocrinology, my diabetes doctor.  I was eager to see if I’d done a better job of managing my diabetes, even though it covered the period through Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My weight is down a little.  (My muscle tone is way up.)  My blood pressure surprised even me:  118/76!  Isn’t that cool?  My A1c (a test for blood sugar) was at 6.7 (very good).  I know I wasn’t as careful with my diet over Christmas as I meant to be.  I also knew I’d faithfully exercised through the whole holiday season, including Thanksgiving.

So, you see, it really pays for me to exercise regularly.   You won’t really believe me unless you try it yourself, and I encourage you to do so.  It was fun seeing a happy doctor today, not one who had to give me bad news.

    Hmm… I tried to post this once and I don’t think it worked… sorry if it duplicates…

    I was saying this is excellent! The hard work you’ve done at Curves and not going hog wild over the holidays officially paid off. Well done!

    Love, Cindy
