ACK! Gotta start getting in shape now!

OK, so my doctor's office called this week with results from my blood tests.  My glucose is at 116 (should be under 100) and my cholesterol is at 223 (should be under 200).  I am seriously overweight at 182 pounds and wearing a size 14 - 16. My measurements are 46 40 43.5.   I have indulged myself in fatty foods for far too long.  I had already started going to therapeutic yoga classes in January, but now it is definitely time to step it up a notch.  I decided to keep this blog to keep myself honest on what I am eating and perhaps let others join in my quest.

My husband has agreed to join me in changing our eating and exercise habits.  The plan is to start with a boot camp type approach and get a good bit of the weight off.  Not starvation, just healthy eating.  We will eat mostly fruits and vegetables along with fish a few times a week and occasional chicken.  We plan to exercise almost daily for at least an hour.  We just bought bikes last week, but can barely make it around the block on them at this time.

My long-term goals are:  glucose 90; cholesterol 160; weight 135.  I plan to post daily my work-outs and eating and how I am feeling about things.  Once a week I will post my weight.  I will post blood test results whenever the doctor takes them.

Please join me in my quest and let me know you are watching this!  It will help me to stay on track.
