Weekly Update

This week was "doctor" week for me (and Joe).  My annual pap smear and my annual physical were all within the same week. I saw my gynecologist on Tuesday and my internist today.  I had my fasting labs on Wednesday.  All my lab work was good.  Because I've been exercising 3-5 days a week at the YMCA, Dr. Merrell said my good cholesterol level had jumped 20 points - it was already good, now it's even better.  Joe also sees Dr. Merrell and he went on Wednesday for his quarterly visit.  He had dropped some weight (lowest he's weighed in awhile - 216) but his sugar is still not where it needs to be.  His body is insulin-resistant, unfortunately.  He does sooo much better when he's doing things outside - like riding bikes, working in the yard, "playing" if you will.  If we could afford it, he needs to ditch his desk job, it would be so much better for his overall health.

Tonight, I'm going to another "Thirty-One" products party and tomorrow is another OU home game.  I also signed up for another 5K next weekend. This one will benefit the Norman High School PTA - it's called the Reunion Run (I'm guessing it's homecoming weekend).
