Hi Divas, strange how life unfolds, just haven't been motivated enough to "diet" - really decrease calories to go from stretchy sized 14s back to slim cut 12s that fit 3 years ago, but when I heard how high my triglycerides and cholesterol was this week, I got my wake up call, and this diva is taking charge of what goes down her mouth!
I stopped at grocery and got plain turkey from deli counter, bought veges, skimmed milk, fat free cottage cheese, whole wheat crackers, whole wheat buns and I will do this, I can do this, with God's help of course too. And a hubby that doesn't want his wife dying of heart disease.
Ladies: if you haven't gotten your cholesterol and triglycerides done lately, do yourself and your family a favor and get them done. It is a fact Heart Disease is the number 1 killer for women, we so worry about everyone else, we put our own health concerns to the side.
I did agree to going on a med, Tricor, but hoping to get off that someday after I get my numbers down.
I already exercise, so that is a positive in my corner, and I eat flax seed and soy, so not like I was living on donuts, twinkies and ice cream 24/7.
You will be hearing from a healthier Josie here! hugs, Josie
