Well, I’ve failed already! Posting every day is just not going to work with a dead computer. Sure I can post, but I can only view two sentences in the mobile WordPress screen. Lame! I’ll keep trying though…
Sometimes, I just want to give up on being healthy. Friday was one of those days. After focusing on eating better for over a year and losing weight, one would assume my bloodwork would be awesome. NOT! Every other year, my results have been in the good range. Now, my triglycerides are high! As in, an increase of 80 points in a year. It makes no sense at all. I don’t eat much red meat and get enough Omega 3s. Also, my CK level was extremely elevated. I don’t drink/smoke and I’m not having a heart attack. So, it could be due to muscle damage, brain issues, or overexercising. Seriously? I have not been doing anything too strenuous (actually doing less than usual). The nurse recommended to be careful and get it rechecked in a couple of months. On top of that, I evidently have a UTI. No symptoms. I swear I’m being messed with. The good news? My TSH level is back to normal so he didn’t recommend changing Synthroid. Yay! (But, now I’m wondering if he looked at T3/T4 levels…More research says that high CK levels can be related to that.)
So, I was a bit depressed and sick over the weekend. Losing weight, exercising, and eating well just seemed to make things worse this year! Plus, I should cut down a bit on working out? It just feels counterintuitive. Also, the BP med the antibiotic for UTI, and increased dose of another one for my PCOS just made me nauseous. But, I did lose 10 pounds in 2 days and the neck pain is gone! I’m not giving up… I’ll just have to work even more on my nutrition so I can shine at my next doctor appointment.
