Weighed in the doctor's office on 1/13/10 at 292 lbs. Went to see him about the 187/92 BP reading the Sunday before... Caught hell for dx'ing the Lisinopril, so I'm back on it. Blood sugars are great, cholesterol so-so: LDL 102, HDL 34. Didn't get "the lecture", but did get "the look". You know - the one where he's reading your vitals and peers over the top of his glasses disapprovingly, and sighs.
Weight lost since 1/13 = 10 pounds
Goals = Keep a food diary, no soda, eat more fruits and veggies, less meat. Don't drive the family nuts. Don't stress over the minor things.
