Things have gone extremely well for me over the last few days. Firstly the biggest item is I went to the doctor on Tuesday to ask for a full blood work-up so that I could see where I was and if diet has helped. To say the least I was pleasantly surprised when I got my results on Thursday. The doctor said everything was good and the only item of concern was my Vit-D which was low so need a D-3 supplement. On the more excellent side my cholesterol has gone down from 7.1 in November 2017 to 4.5 mmol/L which is unbelievable. Doctor told me to keep doing whatever I am doing so pretty chuffed about this. Went for a 14km hike yesterday at Mount Mee and I was absolutely taken back by nature and it's beauty. The experience was memorable minus leeches and sprained ankle but it was excellent exercise. At the moment I am really happy with my diet as I can see the results physically, medically and mentally. Do not know whether I will keep meeting my own weight goals (at least 1.5-2kg weight loss per week) as I have sprained my ankle but I am extremely happy with where I am. I am happy I took the first step of a thousand miles. Weight-loss journey has been up and down but reflecting and recording in FS has helped me to keep focus and also the kind words of encouragement.
