New doc insisted on all new bloodwork Monday & I was pissy about it then but it's a good thing he did. The last 6 months of "I don't feel like cooking so I'll just make a sandwich or snack on junk food" have caught up with me. My A1C and cholesterol levels were both thru the roof!!!!

Shit.

I got the results on MyChart last night & am waiting for him to contact me. I do NOT want ot treat with medication at this point since these are both new developments AND I've got no one to blame by myself. I want to try treating with diet & lifestyle adjustments.

And I suspect he's not going to agree with that... Oh well. My body. My choice.

So... starting with breakfast this morning, I'm going low carb, low starch, low fat, and no processed foods. Plus my goal for today is to dig out my exercise bike from the abyss known as the basement so I can start putting in a few miles on it every week.

Hey, maybe if I'm lucky, I can even lose a few pounds while I'm at it!
