Went to the doctor today for my first physical in over two years, all in all it went surprisingly well. As usual I need to lose some weight, but I guess now it is starting to show in ways other than just my weight. My blood pressure is a little high, not high enough to warrant medication, but high enough to mention that I should lose a few pounds. In addition I need to go have some blood drawn as the doctor wants to have my cholesterol checked, as he thinks that might be high too (makes me wonder about eating that burger at Heart Attack Grill, but it sure was good). I guess I will have to wait and see what the results actually are.

Got a letter from my doctor with the results of my lab work. Turns out everything but my cholesterol is fine. Here’s what the numbers look like (and the notes from the doctor):

• Cholesterol     183 (Up from 148)

• HDL Chol        45

• Triglycerid      143

• LDL Chol        109 (Up from 69)

Doctor wants me to continue trying to lose weight and getting exercise to try to correct these issues. Guess I need to regain focus and really try to lose weight.
