Today was a rough day! I found out that my cholesterol is high, actually very high! I have to meet with my FNP next week and discuss what my options are. It will either be cholesterol meds with the appetite supressant and a diet and exercise program or just the appetite suppressant and a diet and exercise program. I'm hoping it's the later. This is just another kick in the butt to get back in shape and take better care of my body. And this diagnosis comes right as we are studying the heart in nursing classes, go figure!
Well today was a stuggle to stay on my diet but I did it. I did break down and have a handful of chocolate covered pretzels! They were good and cholesterol free LOL! I just wanted something chocolate and I figured that would be better than a snickers or something like that. Tomorrow my goal is to get on the treadmill and walk at least 1 mile. I know it will help, but getting myself motivated is the hard part.
Tomorrow is also going to be my coupon organizing and sorting day! I am going to start looking at deals for the next week and plan a trip to Publix! First one ever! They always have great sales, but they are kind of far away. So my friend, Tina, and I plan on splitting the gas and heading out on a Friday morning and being back before the kids get home! I love shopping and couponing. If I could only make diet and exercise more like that I would be doing good. HAHA.
