Norah and Robin - thanks and YES - it feels FABULOUS to find a good medical professional. Believe me, I've been through the ringer before and post Atkins with ones that are not-so-great or supportive. So y'all know I was worried about the cholesterol thing...but this not only reinforces what I've been doing but was such a source of encouragement!
I went out and bought a stability ball (at
gman's urging) so I can amp up my workouts! I'm gonna do some ab work while I watch the Presidential Debate on TV tonight and I'm taking Jax (sweetie pie pit bull) and Bax (cantankerous but lovable beagle) for a walk tomorrow a.m. - which is ambitious in itself...one is trained WELL to walk on a leash and the other thinks it's more fun to take me on a drag!
We'll see how THAT goes. ;
