What the Doctor says.

Haven't been feeling well and finally went to the doctor today but he didn't have anything really definite to tell me. I had a bunch of blood work done including my hematocrit, thyroid, and blood sugar. I have immediate family that is anemic, my mom has been on thyroid medication since I was born, and by little brother Keynan was just diagnosed with diabetes and hypo-thyroid. With the challenges I have had at losing weight and with my energy level, I was almost hoping there was a medical reason that wasn’t too hard to fix because that would mean it could start to change if treated. 
The fact he couldn’t find anything more serious than the flu means the only treatment is a treadmill. I feel bad for my brother; he and I have always faced similar obstacles in this area. My middle brother, Braden is currently in Japan and is always getting approached by people in his area who want to see if his muscles are real… Some guys have all the luck! Braden has always been able to eat whatever he wanted without gaining a pound. I hope that the lessons I have learned and hope to learn will be able to help Keynan down a similar road. 
Developing type 2 diabetes is always a possibility as heavy as I am, and as something of a life-long concern, just another really good motivation. There are very few people I know at work, in my family, not even my wife, who is 100 percent happy with their current weight or wouldn’t love to drastically improve their level of heath. Of course more than anyone I’m doing this project for me. What with the doctor visit today I have a perfect starting place because I have another appointment in 3 months to re-evaluate medications and will have to weigh in. loosing 30 lbs by my next appointment is now my real life goal. 

Guess I will start with natures most painful but guaranteed to work crash diet, the flu. Not what I had in mind during my last blog.
