Uhm, yeah

I went to the dermatologist today to get an irregularly shaped and hued mole checked out. I deliberated for quite a bit before making the appointment and thought more than a couple of times about canceling after, but figured I might as well see things though. The appointment was for today at 2:30 and I ended up leaving work at 2 to get over there. All of the worry was for nothing - I was literally in the office for no more than 20 minutes with less than 1 (!) of those minutes spent being examined by the doctor, who determined it was a burst capillary and sent me on my way. Basically I ended up with an early day off from work, which is so much win as Aunt Flo has ambushed me early and has me crampy and a bit grumpy.

I actually did make that diet/weight loss community I'd mentioned a while back but haven't done much in the way of prettying it up or making a mission statement/community info page. Will attempt to do so this w/e.

And as of this week I'm officially no longer obese, just overweight (thanks, BMI). Go Team Me!

Home early with no major plans. Time for a nap. *grin*

Nice! I'm still considered "morbidly obese," though people I've told that to laugh, because I definitely don't look like I weigh as much as I do.

BMI doesn't take muscle mass or general fitness into account, which really sucks as well. Meh.

No worries... I've had the doctor look at all sorts of weird things with easy explanations (scarring on neck - autoimmune condition; mole on arm - cyst; runner's toe - sitting on my foot.) Better to know than not!

Definitely. I thought it was benign, and it's reassuring to have a pro tell me it was even *less* benign than I'd believed. Sucks that I had to pay a $20 copay to find it out, though. Oh well.

Thanks. WiiFit groans when anyone who isn't a toothpick steps on the pad. It's gotten to the point where I mute the TV until I get to the actual exercise stuff. :)
