I went to the doctors today for a three month follow up with bloodwork. I was having a problem with the liver function test. He told me that my triglycerides were too high still. They were 656 and the norm is 35-200. Yeah really high, been that way for quite a long time. My HDL was 32 norm >36 and LDL's could not be determined due to the high Triglycerides. This has been my nemesis for a long time and I am now including them in the Axis of Evil. The doctor tried to get me to go on medication. I told him not right now lets wait 120 days until the end of the challenge. We will check the readings and if still high then we will talk, but not until then. I can beat this without drugs, like Ike on Tina Turner (minus the alcohol). One more item to go in the goal category.
Well there are 2 days and some change until the start of the Transformation challenge. i am sooo ready to start. I have been on the site and been in the forums, and there are some pretty siked people there. I got into an accountability group to help me continue to stay on track. I highly recommend that if you have not looked at the site to check it out. Click on the above link to be whisked away to Transformationville. I am still putting together some things for the Transformation kick off video on Sunday. I will include my top three goals for the challenge and some mini goals to keep me focused.
Now with that out of the way I looked through Ricky's toy box and found my motivation. It was buried under the Pirate Mr. Potato head and the Handy Manny toolbox. I made it to the gym this morning dark and early. I was surprised to see less people than usual there. I figured the resolution crowd would be there. I guess they are waiting until Monday. Joy...... I got in a leg workout today with a 5 minute warm up on the elliptical. I felt real good so far. We'll see what the legs feel like tomorrow.
