time to get serious!
i called my cardiologist today to get my results back from the blood tests i had done over a month ago today.
She said nothing was very out of the ordinary, which was good. She said she wasnt even going to call me because everything looked pretty normal.
BUT!! of course there is a but...
my chloresterol was higher than it should be for my age. Its always been a bit high for some reason so i wasnt too surprised to hear that. but she did suggest that i do watch what i eat etc etc.
my tryglycerides were also a bit higher than they would like to see also. but she said birth control can influence that also and ive only been on my new ones for about 4 months now so she was sure that had something to do with it.
again she still suggested some things to help decrease it.
i also know that this is somewhat hereditary. my mom and her whole side have had many problems with these things.
I did some research and theres not much that i didnt know already but it does scare me that these all have to deal with heart related issues.
my heart is really damaged as it is!
i dont think i would survive a heart attack.
so i guess that i am younger now, i should really get serious about this.
ive said that before yadda yadda and i start working out etc but i always fall off the wagon.
but this scares me now!
i really want to take the seriously and become healthy (i am already but theres always room for impovement :D)
so if you see me get on my case about it! or just im me and tell me to work out!
i was doing pretty good about working out and i lost about 4 pounds but now with the holidays and such, i need to get back on and be really religious about this.
again, it wasnt anything serious. like i said, they werent even going to call me about it so it cant be that bad.
but now is the time to start preventing it from getting any worse that it should be.
ill be eating lots of plain veggies and fruits. a handful of walnuts, and lots of oatmeal.
im sure ill be making lots of shakes but that can get pretty expensive :(
kyles been really strict about him working out lately and i can see an improvement.
sometimes i go work out with him just to see him lift weights...its hot. i never really oogle anything a guy does but he looks damn hot when he does it.
his arms get all big and hot...and muscley...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
so by xmas i want to lose 6 pounds.
i can totally do that. i just have to make sure i DO the things that can make that happen.
on a different note.
im actually at training for work right now.
its boring as hell.
one of the trainers was sitting down and actually fell asleep lol.
as with any new job, i freak out about it and say i hate it and i want to leave but i have to give this time.
im still currently looking for new ones though.
but now that i have insurance coverage for the madison area, i dont know if i want to give that up.
but going through and picking the new doctors and cardiologists is a HUGE pain in the ass.
im very picky about my cardiologist for obvious reasons. if i go in for an initial appointment and if for any reason i didnt like them, i will pick another one right away.
ive been thinking, now that i have insurance, and its pretty good, i might look into lasik. im really afraid of that but im getting really sick of my glasses.
and yay me being born a freak of nature, my eyes dont produce enough tears for me to comfortably wear contacts. yay!
so yeah, maybe in a month ill make a consult appointment just to see if i could get it and how much it would be.
i need to make a yearly eye exam anyway, my glasses are NOT my prescription anymore lol.
i still have that huge floater in my eye though! wah wah wah!
kyle took the GRE the other day and the 2 parts that they do grade right away, were pretty good. he was at least in the top 70% of people so thats good. good enough to get into a grad school.
hes just gota wait for the other 2 parts.
so it looks like, at least for now.... (this changes like everyday) that hell most likely be going grad school.
which means, ill be going back to get my English/teaching degree sometime in the next 2 years or so.
we still want to move. we both dislike madison right now.
so idk.
idk random update i guess. more of a personal check list of things i want to/need to do.
its so frickin cold in here. i swear tomorrow im going to bring a blanket.
i wish i had more money. i really want to decorate more for xmas. I did our fireplace and it looks pretty nice but we still have to get a tree and i just wish i could add all these little things.
i love xmas decorations, they just make everything feel more comfortable for the winter.
i love the lights too.
ok gota go.
comment so im not bored out of mind.
