JustBananas's Journal, 31 Mar 21

Today I walked 3 miles (and 3 back) for my annual doctor visit(s), and it turns out that my home scale and their office's scale are the same, so no surprises (Whew!).

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 133.0
Body Fat (BMI): 22%
Blood Pressure: 91/67

Lipid Panel:
Total Cholesterol: 206 (ideal is <199)
HDL: 51
LDL: 130 (ideal is <99)
Trig: 124
Potassium: 2.4 (ideal is 3.5 - 5.0)

I am not on any medications, and I told the doctor that I will not take anything for cholesterol, even if she did suggest some. Will just diet and exercise more. She just told me to take more vitamin D and magnesium -- for what? Turning 50? Who knows. Maybe it's preventative at this point. I already take a daily multivitamin.

Did get potassium pills prescribed. I am always low on this. Am used to it, but doctors always freak out. ((shrugs))

So because I didn't lose much by this appointment as planned, I punished myself by walking into a salon and chopping off all of the hair that still had pre-Covid color. It looks short and HORRIBLE now but feels so soft and healthy. It will look reasonable in about 3 months, and I am still rewarding myself at 125 lbs. with another trip to my stylist for a new haircolor. Incentive to lose more and fast!!

I'll look like a brand new person! Happy hump day, all!
60.3 kg Lost so far: 17.1 kg.    Still to go: 8.2 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

I feel fine, I just get alot of vertigo when I bend down or get up quickly. I know what you mean about growing out. I whacked mine off myself awhile back. Most days I wear it in a pony because I don't care for the shape of it. I can hide it by curling it though. But I'm half gray. Looks like it takes 2 years to grow out completely. I keep wanting to color it myself but we rarely go out these days.

Imagine chopping off everything that is not grey. That is what I had my stylist do. You can see from my profile pic what the color difference is, though it has grown out a bit since I took the photo. But you get the idea.
