Jun. 3rd, 2009 08:55 amGot a call from my RN (the type that can write out prescriptions-what are they called?) about my blood work results. My diabetes screening, and thyroid, came back clear, but she did say that my triglycerides were high, and I *seemed* to be borderline anemic. I think I've been borderline anemic my entire life, which could explain my entire life! I'll have to go back in a few weeks for another blood-letting. I hope I get the same technician who drew it last time. She was awesome. The nurse doesn't want me to take iron on my own-something to do with iron over-dosing. Or, she wants to make sure about that.
So far on the SBD? Doing okay. It's a good thing I like eggs. But, in the interest of saving my cholesterol levels, I bought a big container of egg whites only. Mornings are my worst times, carb-wise. I mean, what else is there to eat in the morning besides cereals, pancakes, bacon, and so forth? I do get tired of eggs and omeletts every day. I haven't weighed myself yet, but then, it's been one week since my physical. I clocked in at 172 pounds on the scale at that office. That's a 1/2 pound less than two weeks before that, when I went in for a different type of appointment.
When I went food shopping all I could think of was, wow, this place is a sugar pit! Virtually EVERYTHING has corn syrup or some variation of corn syrup in it, or straight out sugar from sugar cane, or something that has a -tol ending. A few weeks ago, I read labels in the Italian pasta/sauce aisle and in the barbecue sauce aisle, and couldn't find a single sauce that did not have some kind of sugar in it. And I mean *corn syrup*.
Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, fortunately, stocks food not permeated with the stuff.
I still have to get my ass back to the YMCA for a few reasons: work out, and sign the kids up for camps today.
