I had a physical this morning that I had been dreading for months. I love my doctor but I get so nervous that my blood pressure is usually high as well as my heart rate etc. Then the have to re-do it because it's high and that makes me more nervous etc. This morning I was totally cool. Maybe it was because I wasn't allowed to have anything to eat or drink including coffee. Maybe it was because I'm feeling more confident. Regardless, she gave me her usual diagnosis of "ridiculously healthy" and then she said she was PROUD OF ME for losing 14lbs!!! I wonder if she even knows how much that meant to me. Hopefully my blood work will all come back great and I'll be good for another year. Maybe by that time she won't recognize me.
I have to admit I've lost my mojo a little this week. It's been crazy busy and I've been working in the yard every night instead of exercising. I can't let this continue and must get back in the gym after my trip this weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
How nice to get praise from your doctor instead of the usual "you really need to lose some weight" spiel!
ReplyDeleteAnd you should be proud - you've been working hard!
Doctors are a tough lot to impress. Good for you! And your next physical will have her absolutely over the moon. My physical is coming up in June and I'm hoping my doc will pay me a compliment instead of the usual "slide down".
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
It is nice to have a Dr. kinda confirm what you already believe....that all your hard work IS paying off. Way to go. I'm due for the dreaded Dr.'s appt. next month. I'm working hard to achieve what you have. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are proud of yourself too, you have done so well.
ReplyDeleteI think yardwork is exercise too!
Congratulations Tina! Yeah, gardening is exercise!
ReplyDeleteToday is another great day for gardening before the storms hit again tomorrow. (I wondered if you had any storm damage, since you are near Atlanta. We are getting a new roof thanks to the hail and wind.)
I wouldn't be bummed about working in the yard instead of exercising.
