Can you believe it???!!!! I lost 12-14 inches, depending on areas one measures. Although on this 2nd 21 days I only lost 3 pounds, I built up muscle mass so I was not dishearted but excited. My BP continues to amaze me at the low readings. My blood sugar is not consistent yet, but is much lower. A few days I dipped into double digits. It is my goal to stay there. I do not like those 3 digits even low as they may be. After all, it is the A1C test that will determine Diabetes. I still have until September 1st for my first testing. Second comes in late November, early December. This one is my final test before it is determined if I am to be labeled "Diabetic and go on BP meds".
I say, "No way!"
I actually believe in what I am doing is what is required to be healthy. We tend to take medicine when we could have beaten it by eating right and exercising daily. I recently stopped my cholesterol meds and my arthritis meds. Blood work in Septmeber will be a big factor as to whether I made a good decision or not. I believe in the power of a healthy body!
Yesterday I set up a small secret FB group of friends & family to inspire others to get up off the sofa and on the feet. Motivation is great for all of us. I am excited to see how we all do and learn new recipes and maybe a new exercise or two.
I officially begin Journey #3 July 20th with my original group, drinking my daily shake with many nutrients and tracking my foods and exercising daily.
I will post a small daily update on this next exciting hurdle.
Wish me luck!!!
I am in it to win it!!!!!
