Doctor visit went well, blood pressure was good, we are going to decrease my statin dose, so that made me happy. Cleared for surgery, so tomorrow I see the surgeon to get all the details taken care of. Due to my insurance my blood works get sent out to an independent lab, so it will be more than a week before I know any results.
Got some disturbing news this past week, my best friend of almost 40 yrs had a heart attack last Wed, and due to the fact that she has no insurance she refused to go to the hospital. Thank God she survived (how I don't know without medical intervention) but she is doing well, saw her Dr and things are looking good, but quite a scare for all of us. This put my weight loss in a new perspective, she is 1 yr younger than me and about 40 lbs lighter, so it makes getting this weight off even more critical to my health! Sure was a wake up call to stop this weight loss merry go round and finally get it done!

Well no loss this week, this is the first time in 6 weeks that I can't record a loss. Upset at first but then realized that this is my week after the Fat Fast, and everything I have read says this week you either gain or stay the same, so I will take no loss over a gain anyday! I did not stray from my plan at all so must just be my body catching up from my good loss last week. Can't find my tape measure but as soon as I do I will see if the inches went down instead of the lbs? Blood work and Dr visit tomorrow, then Tues I see the surgeon, the pain finally got the best of me so April 14th I get my new knee! Not looking forward to it, I remember what I went thru with the other one but in the long run it will all be worth it! Had a beautiful day here yesterday, but today is rainy and cool so time for some sports watching and getting caught up on household chores! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good Morning All,
Well here is what is on my mind this morning. How many of you out there are taking a statin for high cholesterol? Being that I was part of the medical community for so long I always trusted my Dr to make good decisions for me and that included my meds (man how stupid am I?) anyway needless to say I have been taking Zocor for a few years now and after reading some of Jimmy Moore's articles at Carb Smart I am starting to realize I really may not need those meds! When you decrease your carbs and increase your good fats your #s should improve. I see my Dr this coming Monday for my 6 month check which will of course include blood work. Now that I am equipped with information I plan to have a little talk with him about including different panels to see other #s that reflect what my whole cholesterol really is and if I should continue a drug I may not need! As we all know Dr's can be stubborn, difficult, and Godly or so they think soooooo wish me luck!
