Finally Hubby called our new GP,. According to the doc, my blood test results are all good. Gotta say it's surprising, after years of elevated numbers, though it has been about a year since my last round, and starting cholesterol and blood pressure medications. I know my blood pressure is also normalized. I take it, occasionally, and it's been normal. Though my weight hasn't exactly gone down these years, I do think I eat better, in general. Less saturated fat, more vegetables and fruit, and a bit fewer carbs. I do need to up my exercise.
My weight looks like an issue on the scale, but I have mostly felt myself trim enough. Lighter looking than the number. My new psychiatrist even told me, a couple appointments back, that I am "not overweight". Dang he is wrong, but whatever. I'm 20 lbs more than the highest weight in my normal BMI range, and I always count myself 1/2 inch taller than I actually am, since I'm rather big-boned, and physically stronger than most women. I'm also lucky enough to carry my weight well.
