Well I had my 4 week check up with my doctor yesterday (2 weeks late). and I am proud to report that i am going to live! My stats are as follows....

When I first started i weighed 239 pounds, my BMI was 38.6 and my fat percentage was at 51.9%
Yesterday I weighed 218(gained 4 pounds but its okay), my BMI is at 34.9, and my fat percentage is now at 47.2%.

I explained about the treadmill and my being so out of breathe and she did scold me saying that I am to go no faster than 3.5mph until they can ensure that my heart and lungs are getting stronger.

I explained my personal situation with my husband and how I keep having nightmares which has led to insomnia. She told me to take half a benedryl every night because I have to sleep AND that she doesnt condone murder but if I needed to kick butt and take names to help me get over it to do so and she would pay for half of my bail.


My blood tests from the beginning session were also a concern but we will be doing a followup test to check my cholesterol and glucose.

My numbers from day one were as follows.......

cholesterol_____ total was 250 and it should be below 150.
                                  trig was 236 and mine should be below 200
                                  hdl was only 37 and it should be above 40
                                  ldl was at 166 and it should be below 100

glucose_______ fasting was at 100.

Overall she is very pleased with my progress and was surprised I have made it this far and done so well with what I have been dealing with. It was a definate moral boost I was needing.

So Im back on track. i started the self challenge found on the magazines website doing their strength training routine, an ab workout to try and reconstruct my muscles and I am on the treadmill 3-4 times a day at 30 minutes per time going 3.5mph. I plan on doing some extra work on my arms and legs after i get adjusted to this new routine.

Im very excited and ready to take this head on. As of right this second I feel like I can do anything.

Have a wonderful day!!!!
