HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Several years ago in Missouri I had a cholesterol level of 280. At that time I was not required to go on meds. In Lampasas I had my levels checked again, I got a call from the Dr. Office to come immediately and get on meds...like "do not pass go, do not collect $200.00." So I went right in and was put on Crestor. I never asked the level because all I could hear was come in immediately...so I did. Coming to Samoa, I went off my meds for a year and decided to go in and have my levels checked again. My cholesterol level is 214... alot better than what it has been, not great. I have been exercising pretty regular even after vacation I have tried to but for the last three weeks I have really been trying hard to exercise every day but Sunday. I was so excited when the Dr. thought I could just control it with Diet and exercise. He gives me until March to bring it down or go on meds. I need help!!! I have to tell myself that I can do it. I can do it.

I am involved with the Christmas play, it is a big production here so my time will be going to and from church and making costumes. Like today, I spent my afternoon trying to help decide what all we needed. I was lucky, today Vance and I walked 3 miles (280 calories burned) before he went to work and I walked to town and back to my meeting (102 calories burned),

Tomorrow I will do better because I won't have a Dr. appointment and I can walk in the morning and do my other routine work-outs. Have meeting in afternoon.

So......I apprecaite your stats Shiloah...great motivator for me. Also, in February I will be married 30 years, I want to take a picture of my husband and I...another motivator.
