I am proud to say, I used the treadmill everyday this week! And not for hanging clothes! woo hoo! Now if I can do it again next week.

I wish I had one .... but I'd still probably not use it! We took several walks this week. I've done a 170 on my food intake. I know I said 170, I couldn't do a complete 180, I had to allow 10 for slips! I've been filling up on steamed veggies BEFORE I eat anything else therefore I dont fill up on the junkier/fattier foods. I've been eating mostly steamed squash, broc & carrots. Hmmmmmmmmmm! I've even tried to cut out most RED meats and minimize my soda intake! I think I'm serious about this diet thingy this time! Atleast I hope I am!

I haven't had a weigh in yet, but I have to go the dr about my foot again tomorrow and they'll weigh me then. I hope it's better than I think. I prob won't be on until 9pm tomorrow since I have a long drive about my foot. I should have gone in June, but it seemed like it was doing better (cyst was 1/3rd its original size) so I bumped my appt a few months ... just in case! Well low in behold ..... the cyst got bigger again! I think they'll have to def cut it out, but this appt is probably gonna be a pre-surgery appt w/the microsurgery complex. Ho-hum!

Anyhow, back to the topic....... GREAT JOB DONNA! Keep it up! You can do it ..... WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER!

Well, I think I was just getting ready for my stress test! I went for a normal check up with a new dr. They did blood work and an ekg. My ekg was abnormal so they sent me to the ER! Talk about a scary day and night. They kept me overnight and I had to do a stress test in the morn. And what a suprise when my husband comes wheeling in my cousin, who is there for the same thing!! Someone was telling us something!
Turns out my cholesterol is in the 300s! Kids don't try this at home! I knew it was high, but what a wake up call. I probaly would have had a much harder time if I hadn't warmed up on the tread mill last week. But a lifestyle change is in the cards for me. If my husband could stop drinking, I should be able to stop eating the bad stuff, I hope.

Moral of the story, watch what you eat and exercise, cause when your driving to the hospital thinking about whats gonna happen to your kids when your gone, it is not fun!!

And Scrappy, I hope everything turns out alright with your foot!
