So...on July 2nd I finally bit the bullet and got my blood work done. My doctor forwarded the information on to my PCP and I met with him yesterday to discuss my rising cholesterol. It seems that in the last 3 years, since I started exercising and changing my diet, my cholesterol has gone up 36 points. I'm in the high range. I wanted to talk to my doctor about why I'm not losing weight, my cholesterol is rising and I am not feeling any better. His response was that I am doing everything right. My good cholesterol has gone up 20 points and my bad cholesterol hasn't seem to have gone up very much.
So basically he told me to keep exercising, keep with my new diet (which removes eggs everyday and replaces them with Cheerios) and to get rid of my scale. Nice doctor.
He doesn't want to test me for another year. What he doesn't know is that in September we have a health fair at work, and I get my cholesterol checked there. =)
