Ok. Second post within 10 minutes. I am actually ANGRY now.
When I read about triglycerides, it lists various causes.
lack of exercise
being overweight
eating large portions at one time
excessive saturated fat, starch, sugar and calories
Ok. For the past several YEARS of my life, I have done ALL OF THOSE! But that is not what I am angry [...]
This will be painfully boring and technical for anyone but me. I just needed to make note of a few things for future reference.
The nurse has me at 175 pounds and according to the last weight they have for me, I have lost 14% of my body weight. She seemed quite impressed. I liked her [...]
You know how it goes when someone is learning to drive a standard? It is this slow, stall, gear grinding misery followed by sudden bursts forward.
That is how my weight loss is in the 170’s. Sometimes I think that when I am doing all the right things, my body IS losing fat even if it [...]
My daughter (8) and I went for a walk this evening. There was a fabulous chill in the air. A nice 54 degrees. Perfect. So anyway, we walked around the neighborhood, not too far. Then we looped up to her school which is across the street from our house. On the way back down the [...]
About five years ago, I decided I was going to lose weight with my reason being to look better. It didn’t last, obviously. That reason alone would never be enough for me to succeed. I realize that now. But anyway, I was thinking about how back then I had put together a book of inspirational [...]
My elliptical taunted me for years. It sat there draped with yesterday’s clothes or a winter coat on a sunny day. It inflicted guilt and shame upon me until I banished it to the “basement” (aka rarely used family room downstairs).
So in the basement it sat until about five years ago when I had a little [...]
Ohhh, I feel it coming. It is almost 7:30. The kids will be in bed before too long. Exchange student is out with friends. Husband is at a conference. It is shaping up to be a binge kind of evening. Yikes. I have some room in my calories for some more food, but the couple [...]
I love that commercial that is for some sort of cereal where the ladies are saying “one lap stronger”, etc. I hear that in my head a lot these days “stronger”.
I have been weaker at times, though. Two days last week I ate mindlessly after everyone was in bed like I used to. One day [...]
Alright 178, your days are limited. You are steadfast and determined not to let me past you to get to 177, but I am about to mow your hard headed self down.
Teetering on the edge of insanity, here. Obviously. But I have HAD IT with 178. I am so over it. The evil diet adversaries [...]
I was reading about high triglycerides and how to lower them. I mean, I am limiting calories and losing weight and exercising and limiting fat grams and keeping my saturated fat really low. But I was interested in others’ experiences with triglycerides.
I saw where someone’s doctor had said that the only way to lower triglycerides would [...]
