Your Well-Being: Ages 43-59

Went to the Dr for cholesterol check and also the results of the blood work done for my yearly physical. Cholesterol is still a bit high but it has come down from 191 to 130 so that is much better. Since I cannot take the statins  that is probably as good as it is going to get for me. I am on two other meds to get the cholesterol down. The Dr was very happy about that. Seems I am way low on Vit D though. Now I live in a very sunny state so you would think that would not be a problem but summers can be pretty hot out here and so I was not outside a lot in the sunshine. So will take Vit D and that should help. Everything else is very good I don't have to see the Dr until next summer!! Yippie!!

I did talk the the Dr about the stubborn weight that I just cannot seem to loose. Seems good ole menopause is probably responsible for the problem. I still have some hot flashes but much less that I was having. I am on the lowest dosage of hormone and it really helps. He says not to give up. Stick to a good diet to help with my cholesterol problem. Watch portions and keep up the exercise. Hopefully one day the body will decide to cooperate with me and let me loose weight again. "Ok body now come on behave I hate exercise but I am doing it, do me the favor and help me make it worth my while LOL

That is pretty good news Mare!

Ya as we get older teh weight  decides it is going to be a real close friend and doesn't want to leave us. 

I as always  think I better get real and do something and  then I go off the diet and wham back I go.  I do not exercise nearly enough either...Bad me!

Glad you are sticking to it my friend!

Hi Lor

Well I have not been as good this last week to exercise so come Monday I am going to have to get back to it. I am trying my best. I eat pretty healthy because of the chlorestrol problem.  Just gotta keep trying I guess.

Love ya
