My Doctor Did The Happy Dance
I went in to have my blood work done a week ago (3 weeks into my new WOE) and my doctor's appointment was this morning. I thought she was going to get up and do the Happy Dance! Not only was my weight down, but ALL -- count 'em ALL of my numbers were down as well. My glucose was down over 30 points, and everything else was down to normal levels. Last appt. 3 months ago my triglycerides were way out of whack. It was a HUGE difference and is now is normal. So if you don't think you are getting healthier, think again. I restarted on Atkins 4 weeks ago and I am amazed how much better I feel. I'm also having little mini goals almost every day. I hadn't been in my dh's truck since Christmas. Hubby always had to pull on the seat belt as far as it would go to fasten it around me. This morning I got in, reached for the seat belt, put it around me and fastened it right in with room to spare!!! Yeaaaaaa! Ok, I'll get off my soap box for now, but I'm excited. What good things are happening to you?

Awww Callie, That's excellent hon!
This woe has reversed my Type-2 Diabetes and my high blood pressure now for nearly four years. My chemistry internally is also much healthier. This truly is the healthiest lifestyle there is. Kudos on the seat belt! I'm so happy for you!
Best of Health and Lite to you and yours.
