Gotta get back on the wagon!

So, I got my test results from my yearly physical. Actually haven't had blood tests in a few years so I was curious to see how they turned out.

I have lost about 20 pounds since Christmas. I had lost 30 but with the crazy weather and a sore knee I haven't worked out as much and gained back 10.

Back to the test results. Cholesterol is down 35 points but my LDL is over by 5 points. I have 3 months until I get retested so I really need to get back on the wagon.

My goal is to lose 10-20 pounds by my next tests. I am going to do the elliptical or walk, eat lots of fruits and salads and cut out bad stuff. I will also do the Wii adn 30 Day Challenge and watch BL faithfully! That helped me last time. I also need to get back to drinking water. With the kids starting school I should be able to do this. If I write it down and set a goal it will get me to do it! We have cut down on take out and alcohol so that should also help. We try to only drink on weekends and only 1-2 drinks when we do.

There. I have set my goal and WILL succeed and get my LDL down to below the acceptable level!

Thanks everyone! I will be going to NC this weekend with my DDs for my nephew's Eagle Scout banquet so I know I will be eating and enjoying family time with my parents and brother and sister. It's the first time my girls and cousins will all be together. We get back Tuesday night. After that it's healthy eating and working out!

Thanks for all your support. Once I get going again I know I will be able to do it! I try to think positively about this and it worked earlier this year!

Good luck to all of you guys too!
