Had my onsite screening today at work where I get discounts on my insurance depending on if I pass certain criteria.
I was one number off for my blood pressure, which is still too damn high, even though I lost 40 pounds. I am really disappointed I didn’t meet that for my BP because I thought I would. My glucose level was 86 which is great and my cholesterol was good too. But they just tell you those, those don’t count toward the discount, the BP does.
So basically of the $700 I could get I am only getting $300. That sucks and I am mad at myself.
I also ate and drank too much over this past weekend. We had my cousin here but that was no excuse to go on a binge. And then Thursday we have another thing with her. I’ll have to be careful not to over do it more. I am fasting today.
I’ll probably update my Professor Spock story only a handful of people are even reading later this week. Other than that I am pretty unmotivated to write anything.
I’m in a bit of a funk, honestly, but hopefully it will work it’s way through.

Oh no! One point? That truly stinks. If they did a second attempt in 10 minutes it would vary. It’s not ridgedly set in stone! My husband’s job has something like that too.
My job doesn’t. My glucose has been fine on my fasting blood sugars, but my hemoglobin A1c (which shows how my blood sugar has been on average over the past 3 months) keeps being just one point into the pre-diabetic range! I’ve tried avoiding any and all sugars like I’m possessed and it adamantly refuses to improve! I’m very discouraged. I’ve lost 30lbs and yet this freakin’ blood test taunts me! Ughhh! So lately I’ve gone back to eating sugar in reasonable quantities. What the hell might as well. Doesn’t seem to change the number. Very frustrating! I feel you! I hope things overall look better soon and you break out of your funk.
I’m looking forward to reading your update on Professor Spock! Or any of your updates for that matter. But take your time and relax. Do it when you’re ready, Ivan. ❤

That sucks about being one number off. I’m sorry.
