This morning, I went back to my dr. for the month
check up that she had requested. She was delightfully
surprised to see my weightloss and that I was taking
this very seriously. I told her that I am a rebellious
patient that didn't start taking any of the meds that
she prescribed last month and that I wanted to beg
her to not put me on the cholestrol medicine! She
viewed my numbers and said she'll give me 6 more
months to see what I'm able to do with my eating and
exercise. Yahooooo!! For me, there's something about
the fact that I have the ball in my court to avoid the
medicine. Trust me, I'm not anti-medicine at ALL!
I think it's great and very useful.. but I'm determined
to not go on this cholestrol medicine. My appt. is Oct.
16th at 9:10 a.m.!!! My prayer is that I will have lost
a grand total of 65 lbs. by this appt. That's only 2.5 per
week on average. Come on cheerleaders.. I need a big
YAHOOOOOO!! Oh my goodness, I would be in a size
12ish if that were to happen.. excuse me.... i meant to say
WHEN that happens! Gotta run to do housework and my
exercise still (my appt. was at 8:30 a.m., so i booked
out of the house too quickly this morning!)
My goal today is to up it to 25 min on that treadmill.
love you all,

I feel your doing a great job. I don't expect anything more than what you've been doing. I don't expect you to be half of yourself today, but in the future. :) For your health of course.
I've been so inspired by you Kara, to make some healthier choices for myself and my family. As I encourage you...it encourages me on such a life style too.
I'm one of your cheerleaders to call upon when you need encouragement/strenght or want to celebrate an accomplishment.
Go Kara Go! :))

I am so inspired by you, Kara! I'm glad the doctor is giving you more of a chance to make the lifestyle change before putting you on that medicine. I hope you know that I am a cheerleader of yours also! I know you can do this!
I'm sure your doctor was thrilled to see such dramatic, positive changes in your health in just one month's time! I feel strongly that you can improve those cholesterol numbers in 6 months' time by continuing this beautiful path you're traveling full speed ahead!
Congrats on an awesome dr. appointment.
You go, girl!
Love ya,
