Forget the Work-Outs

OK, OK, OK,

I quit the gym. It wasn't as convienent as I thought it would be. However, on September 2, 2008 I joined Weight Watchers. Results have been mixed. As of Tuesday October 28, 2008 I have lost 26.4 lbs. This is the best I have ever done on Weight Watchers. It is not as confusing as it once was. It is a much simpler plan to work with now. In a nutshell, Weight Watchers is all about making wise food choices and accounting for what you eat.

In addition to the weight loss, my blood sugar has dropped from the 180's to the 130's. Although ecstatic about my weight loss, I am far more pleased with the drop in my blood sugar. I will return to the Dr. in November for a check-up. I am actually looking forward to it. I am anxious to find out what my cholesterol and my A1-C has done considering my weight loss. My cholesterol is usually pretty good, the highest it has been in my adult life is 223. The last time it was checked, my overall cholesterol was 184, without any medication. I hope to be down at least 30 lbs. by the time I see the Dr.

By the way, (Melissa) I am still exercising. I am just exercising in the basement and the living room.
