Blood Work

Just got some blood work back.  My cholesterol is down 30 points, but it's still a little high.  Some of my liver enzymes are high, which is a first.  I looked some shit up and obesity/fatty liver will cause that.

My migraines have been SIGNIFICANTLY better.  So that's a bit of good news.  Since starting the B2 and magnesium I've only had 3.  That's a huge improvement.

I've started counting carbs again.  I've only been doing it 4 days, but I'm doing well.  No horrible cravings or anything.  I tried making a black bean chocolate cake, which sounds awful, and is, but fights off a junk food craving for only 5 g of carbs and a lot of fiber.

I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but I have to re-do a bunch of stuff for the bariatric center under my new insurance.  I have to meet with a dietician and be monitored for a month, I have to meet with a new surgeon since the one I met with last time is leaving in 2 months, I have to fill out their enormous packet again, get more blood work, and a couple other things.

My unemployment is officially up, so I HAVE to get a part time job.  I was dreading this.  Trying to find work when I'm so fat.  My back has been really bad lately.  My chiro says my L5 disc is inflamed, which makes sense since that was one of the 3 that were bulging a few years ago.  My current weight situation will only aggravate that.  I'm terrified I'll only be able to get a job where I'm on my feet all goddamn day, and after a couple of days I'll just give up and die from the pain in my back and feet.  When I was in embalming 1 class I'd be on my feet for 4-5 hours one day a week, and I felt nearly crippled for a couple days after.  Surely an employer wouldn't mind providing a chair for occasional breaks, right?

On an unrelated note, I'm going to dye my hair.  It's not like it will make me look any better, but I need something make me feel better and get my mind off of bullshit.
