6 months came and went - but the check up had to wait

Apr 28, 2012

I should have gone for  a 6 month check up on Feb.9th.  Unfortunately, my mother was going in for heart surgery on Feb.9th - and that takes priority.  All went well with her surgery - though it was another emotional challenge...as life tends to bring those on every now and again. 

The 6 month check up didn't really happen until 8 months - but all seems good.  I was actually pretty enthusiastic about getting my blood work done - imagine being excited about getting many vials of blood taken and tested!  As for weight loss, I'm at about 55 pounds down - which is not as great as I had hoped.  I have really hit a hard spot and stayed there for a while.  I've added in more exercise - ZUMBA three times a week and body sculpting once a week.  I like the exercise but mostly because I have a work-out buddy and we can laugh together...through the sweat. 

The bloodwork all came back looking pretty good - at least it looks good to my untrained eye.  The fact that each test comes with a "normal range" posted beside really helps.  Most of them were in the normal range.
