Well I have lost about 50 pounds in the past 14 months. I really haven't changed the way I have been eating. I am just exercising. I have been doing a lot of walking with my fiance, Rich, and now I have started riding his stationary bike. I am also doing things with my Wii. I have been doing my Wii Fit and have been doing my Wii bowling.
I went to the doctor's today and my triglyceride levels have really dropped. When I started seeing the endocrinologist, my triglcyrides were 1600 and now they are at 141. I am finally off my fish oil tablets and cut my Niaspan from 1500mg to 1000mg. I am so happy about this.
I know that many may not think that this is that important, but when you have been trying to come off drugs it is a gigantic deal. I have to get bloodwork done in 3 months, but this is peanuts compared to what I have been going through. Rich is so proud of me. His goal is to get me down to 160 pounds by the summer. He knows that it will happen.
I am happy that he has faith in me, because I know that I don't necessarily believe in myself. I am getting better at this. I think that I can hopefully do this. I know I am going to have to work for it, but I can do it. It will require me to do more walking and I am really enjoying riding the bike. That is something I never thought I would say. I am home for a couple of days and I miss riding the bike.
On a completely different note, remember people can comment on my blog. I do and will get them and it will help me out. Thanks.
