Yeah, I take 6 pills a day for it. There really is nothing they can do, it's all hereditary. My mom's family (mom too) has a long history of heart disease. That's why I do what I do. My meals are great, my workouts rock and I don't smoke. I rarely drink and if I do, it's a light beer or maybe two -- I have to do what I do because I don't want to end up like my mom, my brother or my uncle.....thanks for asking Blieb....glad you did. Any advice??
My dad takes medicine for cholesterol & blood pressure. Thankfully my BP has been pretty normal, though it was higher when I used to smoke (quit over a year and a half ago now) ...
I'm starting to get my blood checked regularly again (have apt in a few weeks) ... I used to get told that I had "thick blood", that it looked like I was dehydrated, and I used to drink a lot of water (or so I thought).
Since then I drink even more, and get a lot more exercise, and I think it's helped, but I'll never be completely normal, always on the border or slightly over.
I think walking and medicine helped my dad a lot. The drug I was prescribed was baycol, my old man takes something different.
Eating good and exercising is all I know! Well, and medicine (liver makes cholesterol). Certain foods (fish & garlic) are supposed to raise good cholesterol, which in turn helps lower the bad.
Have they proposed any radical-sounding treatments?
I was having a blond moment! Don't tell Matt--Especially since We OWN One..he would be laughing at me!! LoL!!
They are a BLAST!!!!!!!
Tam~ Hey Babe! I'm healing pretty good..just one cut is bothering me and has a bruise around it..but it looks better today. Thanks for asking!! I hate not working out..but I Know I need to Heal
I have felt like total S*&^ for the past few days. But I'm feeling a little better today and am back on the diet as planned.
No clen this morning -- I've discovered that they have been giving me really bad headaches since I've up'd the dose and I just don't think I can take 'em anymore......

As of right now, I stand 13 1/2 weeks out and am about to hit is hard and heavy! I am planning to call Will today to see if he is ready to get back to work with me. If not, I'm going to talk to the management to see what can be done -- THIS IS REALLY GETTING RIDICULOUS!!!
I think once I hit 12 weeks, I will be starting a new journal. This is going to be so exciting!!!
Hope all is well with all of my peeps.....
Have a great day
Tam
You should be hitting it hard and heavy regardless of the amount of time couSON. Then, if you decide to do the comp, you're ready, if not, you're still a hot momma
Anyway.....we have these things that we sell here called Digi-walkers and I have one and found out that I'm walking about 4 to 5 miles per day......that can only add in the cardio department right? OF COURSE I'M DOING MY REGULAR CARDIO....but a little extra never hurts.
Hey Girl-- I hope you get to feeling better:Kiss: Thats good you figured out what was giving you headaches! You definatly need to talk to the management about your Personal Trainer problem~ Especially with the comp coming up!! Your gonna do great girl!!!!
I got one of those step walker thingies that says how many feet you walked, etc.. from McDonalds--and it counts a step every 3 INCHES--Peice of crap!! LoL -- I'm sure yours is way better though
M1: 2 eggs, 1 slice turkey bacon, coffee
I will have water in a bit -- I need more coffee right now though.
M2: 1/2 of a mini Detour bar, water
M3: medium sweet potato topped with about 4oz lean ground beef, water to drink.
M4: about 3 oz of ground beef and about 2 oz of grilled chicken, water to drink.
M5:
I don't know how I'll spread my meals out today. I brough some chicken, tuna and some steak, I will also go over to the cafe and get a sweet potato and maybe some veggies today too -------damnit....that reminds me, I forgot to bring my spinach. Oh well, save that for tomorrow or for dinner tonight.
Love to all, hope everyone is doing well!!
Oh workouts:
I will do my workout today at lunch. I've been doing that lately since I STILL don't have my trainer........I've spoken to Will, but he keeps telling me he will call me and talk to me about it all. I don't know what that means and I'm quickly getting scared!
I have good news! I am going to get my money back from Gold's Gym. I think they might have had some legal inquisitions and they are going to give the members their money back. However -- this means I REALLY don't have a trainer now........
I'm pretty happy about that.
Secondly -- My diet is going okay, but I haven't been feeling well lately and haven't worked out in almost a week. I'm feeling okay now and am going to try to go workout tomorrow at lunch. I've actually been feeling a little depressed lately too.
Hey, at least the diet is good
I don't know where I stand now on the comp (October) I almost feel like there's no way I can make it. Does anyone wanna join in my fest???
Anyway -- just thought I'd let everyone know I was still alive and give you all my good news!
