Health Update : 11.08.07

You all might remember my last post about my health : Sometimes an Apple a day, just doesn’t cut it… That was following my  last visit to the doctor, where I found out that well… I wasn’t very healthy. The biggest things were my thyroid level (>.5), my weight (256), my cholesteral (334), and my blood pressure (160/100).

After 3 weeks of taking Synthroid (for my thyroid) and Diovan (for my blood pressure), plus eating fairly healthy, I was happy to find out that my thyroid level is now within normal ranges (10.5), and my blood pressure was reduced to a respectable level (130/80). My cholesterol was reduced to the 230s (sorry, I didn’t write down the exact number)… and best of all, I was down to 245 pounds.

Thats a signficant change from where I was last time I went to the doctors. Suffice it to say, I was in a pretty good mood leaving the doctor’s office today.

Now I just need to keep it up. Wish me luck!
