I just got the results of my first post-weight-loss cholesterol test:

Cholesterol 187 - "desirable"

HDL 64 - "protective against heart disease"

LDL 110 - "near optimal"

Tryglycerides 67 - "normal"

The above results are without taking any pills.

My former doctor didn't say a word about controlling either cholesterol or blood pressure with diet and exercise. He was all about pushing pills.

you are a true success story of taking a hold of your own health. listen to your doctor but listen to yourself more.

coolies!


Goals:
1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire.
2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy.
3. One word 2008: courage
4. Eat slow and mindfully.

Good for you!



Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
