Test results

I went to the doctor on the 3rd and found out that I weighed too much which started my New Year’s Resolution to diet and exercise to get myself healthy. To that end, I have endeavored to abide by my resolution, although as my Christian friends will know, “the road to hell is a slippery slope.” Meaning that I’ve done well but I still fall by the wayside every now and then. Exercising is about the same as the diet for me although I have been to the gym more since the 3rd of January than I was at the gym in the latter half of 2011.

The doctor took blood samples for my yearly blood work and ran all the normal tests on it…PSA, A1C, CBC, B12, and a new test that I asked for, Testosterone. All were normal except for the last one, which I fully anticipated due to the way I’ve felt recently. Normal levels are typically 15-18 (15-18 what I don’t know but that’s what the doctor said) and my test came in at 3.7, or, as the doctor said, very, very, very, very, very, very, very low. So, now I am on the testosterone shots to increase that level and to hopefully make me feel better.

Additionally, I lost 6 pounds from the 3rd to yesterday according to my doctor’s scale. w00t!
