I had blood work done Saturday to check my cholesterol, sugar, thyroid and a CBC. All came back okay except my cholesterol - which I expected. It's 268, not as bad as the 298 it was 7 years ago. I brought it down then to 166 with diet and exercise and asked my Dr if I could try to do that again before being put on medication. She agreed to wait three months and recheck me.
Wish me luck!

I'm with you, diet and exercise before medication. Do have a bicycle? Bike riding does wonders for one's health, that is if you don't get hit by a car. In Erie we have a park with multi purpose trails on it. I see bikers, walkers and roller blades. Great fun.

Blogger Bob someone stole your goatee!! 
I do have a bike, but the brakes need work. There's a walking trail not too far from me where I can ride once I get the brakes fixed. For now I've been walking with The Lizard. It's been a nice mom/reptile time together.

Quoting OI812365: "Diet" is a four letter word
Diet is a nasty nasty four letter word I like to think I'm retraining myself how to eat. To me a diet is something you do for a specific amount of time to loose a specific amount of weight, then go back to your old habits.
I still don't enjoy it though.
