the good news is.....
I lost another pound or so... I'm down to 221. I checked and I haven't been that low since early 2007. Good going Julie!!! I'm proud of that and that I've lost 20 pounds since Jan 1. I can tell it in my pants but not much else but people have notice some at work... I went to the doc today.. I had a follow up and get results of blood work.. I'm exactly normal.... even though this blood work says I'm not diabetic my doctor is not convinced... I was just on the cusp of it in November when I was heavier and less active.. my cholesterol is below 200 and all the components of it are below the bad range.. she wants my LDL to go down to 70 .. it's 92 now.. and below100 is normal.... and it's lower than it was back in February.. so things are better but she still wants me to go on cholesterol medicine to get my LDL down. Anyone know ways to get it lower (certain foods, etc) without taking medicine? My BP was good, .. so I'm feeling good. I've been smilin all day. There was a funny incident my doc who is actual a PA but I think smarter than the actual doctor she works for... had a bit of a bad fit today when a drug rep brought in a dozen kripsie kreme donuts to the office... she said he won't get her business because she's all the time harping on her patients to stay away from that kind of stuff.... after she said she was really please with everything concerning my numbers.. I asked if I could have one of those donuts... she said no.... anyway.... the bad news is I went to dunkin and got coffee and two donuts... and because it's my birthday weekend and I've given myself just the weekend off... I had a cheeseburger... and because I'll be 47 gasp I'm making a cake out of Junior's cheesecake cookbook... if you haven't seen this book don't go looking for it.. it's deadly.. I've hidden it for 6 months and said I was only going to cook one on my birthday and maybe one at Christmas.... oh and because I'm a numbers girl... I tallied up the calories and the fat in this cake.. It's a carrot cake cheese cake.. two layers of carrot cake one layer of new york style cheese cake covered in cream cheese frosting.... are you ready.. this was kinda shocking and thankfully I plan to have just a small protion of it and then it's going to work...16,897 calories in the cake and 1022 grams of fat.. if I get 16 servings out of it...that's still over a thousand calories a serving.. and with that fat that is over ones days WW points... it's probably all the flex points... but even after all that.. I can't wait to try it... maybe I should go get those pills and double up... Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
