well all's well that ends well.... so far with the blood pressure.
my blood work came back great. my cholesterol is really low and my triglycerides (i know i spelled that wrong) are really low too. i have no danger of being diabetic at this time and even tho i have not lost weight or inches around my waist my pressure is more 'normal' for me 130 over 88. i am always pushing it a bit high, but never as bad as it was a few months ago.
i really credit working out to this result at the docs today. i have done 20 minutes a day on the elliptical machine every day since the day before thanksgiving... only missing 7 days total.
one huge puddle, one snow day, one really sick day and the other 4 were this past weekend, i just took a vacation from it, but i am back at it as of yesterday.

he also credits my atkins diet to the good blood numbers, said that the lack of carbs helps.

so.... NO DAILY MEDS FOR ME YET!! YAY!!

i go back in april to recheck and by then i hope to have lost the extra chub i gained at xmas (thanks to jim giving me godiva chocolates, they are finally gone now :)

finished the lap quilts, did one for josh too, he is sleeping with it as we speak... and i made a small pillow to match jims because i had extra squares. cant wait to give it to him :)

picked up some yarn and a crochet hook as well as a needle punch kit, something new i have not tried yet. will let you know how it turns out. i like keeping myself busy with crafts, i forgot how much i used to like doing it. i still have my jewelry but that is more like a job since i have to make it to make money... this stuff is relaxing and i can make things for other people, not just women ....
well, i will try to go to sleep now.
wish me luck.
