Doctor's visit

I went to the doctor today for a follow up on my bone density. He said it was normal, and that everything looks good except for a higher level of prolactin. I don't know what he is looking for, but he had me do some bloodwork- a re-test of the prolactin and my thyroid. I used to have a low thyroid, but it went away with Synthroid. I don't take anything for it now and it's been good. The doctor's office was a pain... I was in the waiting  room for 30 minutes and then over an hour in the exam room. It's no better than the clinic I work at, and I like this doctor better. Well, kinda. I like the nurse at the clinic when he gives me my depo shot but that's it. I know this doctor is thorough. 
I keep going over my calories, even with exercise. I don't know what changed. I'm hungry and I just eat junk. I need to stop. but it's hard. I have a big breakfast like I should, and then a light lunch and baked chicken for dinner. I think I need to lighten my breakfast a bit, and just have oatmeal and coffee without the trail mix in my oatmeal. I'm over my calories today because I had a couple of small doughnuts, and I want more. I can't, though... I need to keep my calories in check. 
I'm hoping tomorrow to walk to the gym, work out, and walk home. I need to get exercise in to make me lose weight. I'm hoping to get my friend Lisa to walk and do stuff in the gym. She pushes me in a good way. I need to get these calories off!

it is good you have a doctor who checks everything and then you will find out what is wrong. weight issues are so hard to handle, whether to gain or lose. what you havw written for your meals doesn\'t sound like to many calories even with the 2 doughnuts. do you eat more nibbles then you nthink during the day? I hope lisa can exercise with you, having a buddy is real helpful. you can do it, I know it!!!! hugss
