So, yesterday I had my Doctors appointment. Well it was a nurse - a kind of checkup. I was really nervous - I haven't been to the doc's for 22 years, not since they did a rubbish job of removing my big toe nails
Anyway, I have been keeping a log of my fasting blood sugars, my weight and my blood pressure. My pressure has been normal all the time I have been taking it at home (about 124/75), but of course, because I was so nervous in the Dr's it was 164/96! White coat hypertension.
We talked about the high glucose readings I had over xmas, and I told her that I had been exercising to reduce it etc. I also told her that I didn't smoke, and that I only have maybe 2 glasses of wine a week. She actually said it was ok to have a glass a night with meals, which I thought went against current government persecution guidlines of the middle classes, of no mid week drinking?
Ho-Hum...
Anyway, she then tested my piss sample, which showed no glucose in, but elevated keytones, which (as I told her!) was a by product of a heavy diet and exercise regime
So, her overall advice to me was "Eat more and exercise less!" So, on doctors orders I will be mostly sitting on my arse this weekend and doing nothing :-)

that is what i have been doing for about 15 years now and it can be dangerous, be careful cos you might end up like me, i am sure you wont want to have the illness i have got. some people think it is only young girls that get anorexia but, no. i have just realised i have it myself, have the symptom that when a sufferer loks in the mirror they see a fat person...............nuff said. so be careful
wouldn't it be funny if, this Friday, you turned up at My Dr's instead of me, and told the nurse that you had acted on her advice!
I tested my body fat in the gym the other day - turns out im 22% fat. I want to get it down to about 17 - 18% So once I have the all clear from the Doc's I'll be aiming for that.
i went to the gym the other week, i found a great machine. i found it was absolutely fantastic but after an hour or so i started to feel a bit sick. it does everything though, mars bars, crisps, fruit and nut, the lot.
:-D Nice to see you have truly beaten anorexia
its been a hard trek, lots of pain along the way but with the help of that skilled kebab chef i think im on the mend.
