Blood Test Time!
Time has rolled around for another blood test. Had Dr Sweeney take my blood this morning and looking forward (with some trepidation) to the results which he says he’ll give me over the phone tomorrow.
I’m hopeful that this Year’s results will be better than my 4.9 reading this time last year. I missed having my blood test in June this year – partially because I’m slack and partially because I was worried about the result. I was forced to have the blood test this time as I’m due to see my cardiologist, Dr Hiscock on December 6 and he needs to see my test results.
The gym at VU just isn’t as convenient as what I’d hoped, so I’ll have to push myself to join a gym in the City. Fitness First are seemingly everywhere in the City now – Melbourne Central, QV, and where the Melbourne Fitness Club used to be in Collins Street. I’m undecided between 3 gyms – Corporate Fitness Club in Flinders Lane, Fitness First at Melbourne Central, and Fitness First at QV. The FF at QV is a “Platinum Club” which I need to find more information about. They say that they give members more individual service and I need to find out what that is before committing to it. I like Corporate Fitness Club because their prices are similar and CFC supply all your gear and have regular fitness assessments so you can keep track of your progress. They are relatively handy provided I get used to catching my trains at Flinders Street.
I’ll check out if FF have a similar assessment process and if not, it looks like CFC could be the place.
I received my results – 4.8 (last year was 4.9). I guess I should be pleased that it’s less than last year but I was hoping that my Triglycerides would be lower – they were 2.9 this time. My doctor said they should be 2.1, so there’s some work for me to do!
I’ll see what my cardiologist has to say on December 6!
Peter, better ease up on the xmas cheer then mate.
Hope you have a great christmas and new year. Will catch up with you soon
