Sometimes Losing Is A Good Thing!!!

I am maintaining my goal. Since April 8th, I have lost 1 lb a week for a total of 6 lbs. I am very proud of myself. Normally I give up after a few weeks. I also passed all five courses of my third semester with A's. Lisa gave me a beautiful book bag that she made herself as a congratulations present! That made me feel so good! I passed another very important test. I went in for the dual isotope stress test and they said there is nothing wrong with my heart. The practitioner said just to keep up what I'm doing(which is just changing what I am eating some, exercising and losing weight) and come back in two months for a follow up visit.

Proud of Myself!

Since my annual physical on April 8th I have lost 4 lbs(1 a week). I guess it just really sunk in how necessary it is for me to get this extra weight off for my health. It really hasn't been that hard. I like food that good for me so that's a plus. I have found alot of small ways to improve my eating habits. I have really been paying close attention and it is the little things that were adding up. So any encouragement is helpful!

THIRD SEMESTER EXAMS

I finally have my 3rd semester exams done and in the mail to the college! I will post the results as soon as I receive them. I feel that I did very well. Now I only have one semester left to go. I really want to buckle down and get it out of the way. Well, I saw the cardiologist Friday and wasn't real impressed with his attitude. I thought his practitioner was much easier to talk to and more understanding. They want to go ahead and have me go thru the isotope treadmill test. They really think my high blood pressure is due to stress and weight. The practitioner was impressed that I had already started on a cholesterol lowering diet and had already lost 3 lbs. since I had been in for my physical. So today I am also going to get started on a daily exercise program for overall fitness and to help take off the weight. I want to be around for a long time to spend time with my husband, daughters and their families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
