Bittersweet Success

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13

Yes, bittersweet success is what I feel today. I got my lab work bad from the doctor. My cholesterol is 165 and the LDL and HDL and well within the target range. My A1C is 6.2 which is also below the 7 or 6.5 (depending on who you talk to) range. BUT!!! the doctor is not going to reduce or eliminate any of my medications at this time. Since my next appointment is in six months I will have to wait until then and try again to get this done. I was so sure that she would at least reduce the medications so of course I am very disappointed!!!!!

I refuse to have a pity party and let this discourage me from trying even harder to continue on this healthy road. I am switching up my cardio. I am on level 8 of 10 on the elliptical machine and I now switch the programs between cardio-hill intervals-weigh loss-strength. The variety helps alot. I still burn around 600+ calories during my 30 minutes.

I am facing new challenges now. The weight seems to come off slower and I am so tempted to eat less. I will talk about that next time!!!

Thanks for following my progress and listening to me chat as I become healthier!! Remember to contact me just click on this link: healthierfaith@bellsouth.net. I look forward to hearing from you!!!!
