That's excellent news! Not only can you see differences in your physical appearance, but you now know for sure that you're doing such wonderful things for your health. Wonderful!
That's great! I haven't been to the doctor to see about any health improvements, and I haven't lost much, just 12lbs.. but my biggest thing is that I can actually stay up on my rollerblades for the entire time that we are at the hockey rink without feeling like my feet are going to explode or something. When we first started, i had to sit down like every 5 minutes or so and take a break because the pressure was too much for my feet and ankles. Here's to the day when I can rollerblade down the sidewalk by the beach!
Thanks for the input everybody. It has been a week since I got the news and I don't think I have really settled down yet from the excitement.
Mousie - Make sure and let us know how your test results turn out and
Midwife- It actually has ended up costing me more to eat well. I am a retireee and tell my friends I need my part time job to shop at the Wedge (our local whole foods coop) but the results are worth every dollar. I also just feel better about myself because I know I am taking better care of myself instead of acting as if my life doesn't matter!! That seems to be the most important thing.
