Its working!!!

So, I've done some major change though my diet in the last few weeks.  Sticking with what I feel works best for me.  and its WORKING!  I'm down 4 pounds this week.
Went to the dr yesterday to get a letter for my landlord so that I can have my dog come live with us as my emotional support service animal.  Its a much needed thing.
I also had lab work done.  its all NORMAL!!!!  My Ha1c is 5.2 (higher than my lowest of 4.5 six years ago)  but lower than the 6.5 it was before I went into the hospital.  My CBC Hemoglobin has gone up another point to 14.5 (YAY!!! This is amazing after being at 3.9)   Said my LDL is a bit low, but that will fix itself with better sleep and continued fitness exercise.
Crappy news... He diagnosed me with hypertension.  My blood pressure was 157/95.  O_o  I had a headache that caused blurred vision for 3 days.  He is prescribing me with a super low dose of Catapres patches for a month, because he imagines that my blood pressure is due to stress and perhaps my birth control pills.  I have an appt with my OB on wednesday.

So, Its moving forward!!!
*YAY*
