So I'm sad to say I was bad one day and not so good yesterday... However today I am back on the battle field !!!!!0

I'm a bit nervous I'm getting some blood work done to see how my bods doing....ahhhh....I'll be posting my horrible results and maybe those of you in the same situation can post your results and we can see them improve in the span of 1 yr.

Ok so I should have my blood test results this coming Monday 4-20-15 ahhhh!...Needles!!!....0

Hopefully, your blood work will come back better than you anticipate. I had mine in January and I have a few things to work on but it wasn't too bad. My vitamin D was low so I take a supplement. My LDL cholesterol was a bit high but I'm confident that the healthy eating I've adopted through using MFP will take care of that.
My non-blood work issue is that my blood pressure was creeping upward. My systolic was fine but my diastolic was averaging 83 most days. I'm sure being sedentary and overweight added to that. As I increase my exercise, it seems to be inching down.
Like you, I have good days and bad days. I have a tough time if I don't get enough sleep because I don't have the resilience to make choices that get me to my goals.
Good luck on your blood work!0 -
Thank you
I hope for the best also but I'm prepared to hear the worst. My LDL cholesterol was really bad about 4 yrs ago when I last went to get blood work before I got prego. Then the last month of pregnancy I had gestational diabetes so.... That's what scares me. From then to now I've gained about 15-20 lbs. not good.
I hope your blood pressure keeps going down and that we both reach our goals.
Keep sweating and eat well.....and may the odds be ever in our favor.0 -
Well tomorrow's the big day...Ahhhhh!...no matter how my results come out....the time for change is here and now there is no turning back.0
-
So I called in for my results....they told me they didn't have them yet to call again on Monday....ahhhhh....I wanted to know NOW!!...o well....Friday it is

Felt sluggish today. Didn't think I'd use the tred but I just have to get rid of some weight so I conquered my Sloth and burned atleast 400cal. Took me an hour cause I just speed walked it while watching Son Of God on Netflix but something is better than nothing
Together as one, the odds are in our favor0 -

Good job!0 -
Just burned another 400calories on the tred. Had a long day at work and didn't think I'd even make it to 200 but once I got there...I thought....well I'm already half way there....what's another 200 and another episode on Netflix0

Keep it up, great job!
Just in case you didn't know, there's a personal blog here on MFP that you can use to post these updates, rather than posting in a thread in the public forums, but of course which one you prefer is up to you. The forum is nice because more people are likely to see it/find it, and the blog is nice because you can easily find your posts after a year or so and compare yourself to the posts when you were just starting out. 0 -
Cool thanx I love the idea that one day I can look back and compare 0

Well... Got my blood results...sigh....my Glucose levels are above normal they should be between 65-99 and I'm at 102. My bad cholesterol should be lower than 99 and it's at 1210

I haven't been to a dr. In about 6 years. I'm afraid. I think I might get diabetes. But I actually feel ok and everything works. I keep telling myself that ill go when I quit smoking and lose some more lbs.0

Yesterday I went to Ihop....ugh...I wish I hadn't. It is better to Skip than Ihop. I was over 700 calories

Welcome to join the burn0

I like this recipe. Approximately 350 calories and only 2.5 net grams of carbs.

My blood sugar was prediabetic. Cutting down how many carbs I ate and combining what carbs I ate with protein and fat helps me a lot.1 -
O wow love the recepie can't wait to try it. I feel I'm starting a long journey against a raging river. It's going to be hard not eating tortillas, bread and white rice. I'm a beaner raised with pan dulce, quesadillas and delicious tamales. The pre diabetic high cholesterol and potential problems with my liver and kidney do scare me though.0

Can anyone recommend good beginner weight training videos. My doc said cardio is not enough. I'm afraid of bulky muscles though. Long and lean is what I'd like even if I'm only 5'2"
the long... I'll wear heals 0
