3 Month Check-up

Jan 12, 2010

I had my 3 month check up yesterday with the Dr's PA and everything looks good and I am trying now to work out 5 days a week which includes walking 1/2 to 1 mile (indoor track), cardio, weights & presses.

My blood work came back really good, BP was slightly elevated yesterday but am wondering if it was due to me coming from the gym to the Dr.

I can reduce my extra Vitamin D and I don't need the Prilosec, only if I have tummy troubles.  My potassium was a bit low and I was given a list of foods that are high in potassium to try to eat.

I do need to EAT more and not be so dependant on the liquid proteins.  I told her that I felt I am one of those that are taking longer to adjust and so forth.  I can only consume just under a half cup of chili (Dr. said that was fine too), a side of refried beans is a double meal for me, and I have never been a fish fan, and am also starting to eat a little chicken (canned chicken smells like cat food! YUCK!) I do eat a baked potatoe and only use light sour cream and/or maybe some cheese and spray butter, but I do not eat the skin, just to be on the safe side of things.  3 of the frozen meatballs make me full... plus I am not really all of that hungry and my liquids tend to fill me up and keep me full.  I did start eating the 10g protein South Beach bars... and I do not really sit down and eat with my family because I am unable to eat what I make/cook them, but that is fine for me - I guess not as much for the Dr. 

So, that's about it for now, hope everyone else is doing well!
