So, a couple weeks ago I went in for a biometric screening. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a fasting blood test where they check my glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol and then they take my vitals. (We got an extra $300 in our FSA for doing it.) Well, my test results came back and it all looked great except my triglycerides.
I went in to see my doctor and he told me that people would pay to have my cholesterol levels (that made me feel good), and that my triglycerides were slightly elevated. That was such a relief! The lab made it seem like I was at the top of the scale at 201, but turns out that it could actually be in the thousands! I walked away from that appointment feeling pretty darn good about myself and the health choices I have made in my life. Especially when he told me that when he had seen me earlier in the week he had thought to himself that I had to have lost some weight. He told me to keep it up and that I weighed less now than I have in the past 5 years, according to his records. I think that was the very first time I have EVER walked out of the doctors office feeling good about myself!
Choosing a healthy lifestyle most certainly pays off!! I'm so grateful that I'm choosing to be healthy.
