I spoke with my doctor yesterday on some blood work he wanted me to have, which is all in correlation to my high blood pressure. The results came back and he said my blood is essentially in pristine condition! My cholesterol levels are great, my hemoglobin(which I've struggled to maintain because of my blood disorder) is the highest it has ever been. He said he was impressed (although I don't know how much I contribute to that) and that as long as I continue losing weight, I shouldn't have to go on Blood pressure medication. This news is a huge relief, because I am young, and blood pressure medication can have some wacky side effects. I will still see the cardiologist as a precautionary measure, but I am confident I am heading in the right direction.
On another note I had a mentor meeting today. Things are moving along well, and Ms. Maddren suggested maybe I change up what cardio machines I do, as well as add back in some weights. Doing too much of one routine or exercise can sometimes let your body adjust to it, not making it as beneficial as in the beginning. I'm feeling good and happy to be changing it up again!
