kimiam59's Journal, 20 Apr 18

Yesterday I had an appointment with the cardiologist. Heart disease, hypertension and high cholesterol run in my family. My EKG was fine and my blood pressure is always naturally low. My cholesterol was also fine, but she was a little concerned about my lipids. I had misread my cholesterol report and thought it was high and that it had gone up 90 points in 10 weeks, but that wasn't right. I didn't think it would be a problem because I have been vegan since July 2017. She said my levels were really good but advised cutting carbs and losing weight. So today is the first day I have been keeping track of everything I eat and the carb amounts. I've also been walking at a brisk pace with my dog most days and doing stretches and strength training. I am committed to being as healthy as I can be. :)
