What it do.
I feel so guilty when I'm not blogging. Why is it that I don't blog, but I think about it all the time? I guess I feel like making time to chronicle the silly mundane steps of my day at work are not that interesting. I have a lot of thoughts and things I could probably share, but I'm not as motivated to make time as I really want to be.
Today I went to Kaiser and had an ultrasound. That shit was scary, just because of what I think the possibilities could turn out to be when someone begins to actually look inside you and see what you may have in you and what could be wrong. It took only about 10 minutes, maybe even less, and when it was over I felt much better about it.
I went in for the ultrasound because my recent liver readings were high, but still much lower than my first liver levels, but higher than the levels after I didn't drink for a month. My cholesterol on the otherhand went down significantly and is in reasonable ranges. So I think I've figured out my diet in terms of that. But my liver needs work. I have a fatty liver I believe. I haven't gotten the official diagnosis from my doctor, but I think that is what is coming. I've stopped drinking anything alcoholic since last weekend and will begin to take some Milk Thistle on a daily basis to help with cleaning and maintaining my liver. I'd like to really step up my intake of lots of beneficial things. I'm already eating flaxx seed, chia, oats, a lot more vegetables and barely much that isn't very healthy. So I'm super optimistic and stoked about eating food and trying to use the goodness of those things in being more healthy and exercising more. We've been jogging a bit, but it needs to be stepped up a bit.
And, that's it for now.
