Posted - Feb 07 2011 : 10:42:04 PM I invite all those out there who want to better themselves to join me. I have high cholesterol and am giving myself 6 months to whip myself in shape and make better more healthful decisions with diet and to keep on top of medications. All-around take better care of myself. I hope I can inspire someone by taking on this challange.
Lord knows I will need all the encouragment I can get! This will be hard for me. I plan on keeping track of my progress every month till August, but am offering an incentive to my readers for February since the first month will be the hardest.![](icons/icon_smile_blush.gif) Visit my blog for more details.

Posted - Feb 09 2011 : 1:49:01 PM Robin, Yes I just started taking 1000mg of Omega-3 as well as eating Cheerios and Rolled Oats and avoiding fast food--my weakness. My Dr. wanted me to take Niacin too, but even the "no flush" makes me flush and I feel really yucky when I flush.

Posted - Feb 08 2011 : 10:48:27 AM just remember.....even "small" changes can create big results.....maybe start out, for example, changing your breakfast. if you normally have something with eggs and bacon----switch to cheerios with skim milk....that supposedly helps with your cholesterol right away!! i know how tough it is, i feel like i've been on a diet forever. but i find that as soon as i actually apply "some" thought to what i'm eating or doing, i actually do move (even though it might be ever so slight!) in the right direction! good luck!! sue |
