I thought I was Healthy!

Today I had my follow up visit with my general practioner for my blood work that was done 3 weeks ago.  I tend to belive I am a fairly healthy person.  I eat fruits and vegetables daily, don't smoke, don't eat fast food (every now and then), ok, maybe I don't excersize regularly, but I can still run and bike when I'm in the mood. 
After waiting for the dr to 'get in' I was called an hour after my appointment was scheduled.  Apparantly the doctor's time is more precious than mine.  The nurse then begins to do her thing...now time to get weighed.  I swear their scales are always 5lbs heavier than my scale at home.  You? and once again, it was 5lbs heavier than what I had weighed myself at home yesterday.  Dr. comes in next to go over my chart. 
My last annual exam was in 2008.  I was pregnant pretty much from 10/08-8/09, pregnant/miscarried/pregnant 2 wks later, so I went to the doctor quite frequently and had my blood drawn quite regularly as well.  I was considered a high risk pregnancy due to the miscarriage and time between getting preggo again. 
So the dr notices that I have gained 9lbs (according to their scale) since 2008.  I refer him to the part where it states I have a 23mo old child.  He doesn't care.  I remind him I gained over 50lbs.  Doesn't care.  I tell him 5 years ago I was anorexic and I could lose 20 lbs by my next follow up appointment if its really that important.  THAT got his attention!  He suggested that I do cardio daily (you mean running after a 23mo old is not cardio?) I'm determined now to lose those 9lbs and get into better shape.  I am joining a gym tomorrow and plan on going daily.  Cole can play with the other kids in the daycare they have there.  I love the elliptical machine.  I know I should do a lite weight training routine to strenghten my puny muscles too. 
I am also deficient in Vitamin D2, D3, Folic Acid, Calcium, B12 (needed an injection for that one!) My cholesterol is still high, even though it went down 20pts.  I'm anemic and not immune to the chicken pox.  I had the shots and they didn't work.  I swear I was healthier when I smoked, drank and did drugs (mom, you didn't just read that).

So today I have decided to become a healthier person than I thought I was.  I will take my vitamins, go to the gym, and eat less crap at night (like the pretzels and peanut butter I just endulged in).  Diet starts tomorrow? Famous last line...
