Doctor's Report

Okay, I was a big girl and went to the doctor. Here is the report so far:

  • I have not gained or lost weight in 6 months.
  • My numbers from my blood test were not bad, except my glucose levels were higher than she wanted, but not diabetic.
  • She is retesting my vitamin D.
  • She wants me to try the Sugar Busters Diet
  • She wants me to eat the same amount of calories I am eating, but broken into more meals
  • She wants me to think about heat yoga (?)
  • She will run my blood work again in 6 months

All in all not a bad trip, except she kept saying "Now that you are 50." I wanted to scream I am not 50 yet! I will not be 50 for another 12 days. However she kept saying it. Examples:

  • "As a 50 year old female your metabolism isn't like it used to be."
  • "Now that you are 50 you can have a colonoscopy."
  • "At 50 you probably need to be more aware of your blood glucose, and watch for diabetes."

I'm not even 50 yet and it already sucks.

So tonight I will order the Sugar Busters Diet and Shopping Guide, take my vitamin D, have trouble getting to sleep thinking about a colonoscopy, and then when I do fall asleep I will dream of the perfect birthday cake my youngest is making me for when I AM 50, because I don't care what Sugar Busters says I having my special birthday cake!
