{ Weekend in review }

SATURDAY::::
 
Started my day with the horrible news that my uncle Tony passed away.  It kind of set the tone for the day, I spent the whole of Saturday on the phone, talking and trying to calm down my stepmom, talked to my oldest brother for 2 and half hours too.  
 
It's so difficult when your family is in another country and so far that you can't just hop on a plane to go and be there.  I mean, I could but the tickets are very expensive, and it's 3 flights and flying for 20 something hours.  
 
It means I have to do my best from far, even if just calling and being there as much as I can as emotional support.
 
 

I also received my blood test results and was absolutely thrilled to see how much everything has improved.  The only issue I had was the high triglycerides, but by dropping those by a whopping 74 points, everything else dropped too.  I'm so thankful to God for this blessing and I'm more than determined now to continue doing what I've been doing.
 
My overall Cholesterol dropped from 191 to 168.
My HDL continues high which is what you want.
My LDL (the bad cholesterol) also dropped to 50.
My Triglycerides went from 168 to 94.
My glucose also dropped.
 

 
SUNDAY::::
 
Gym time with Curt.  I have grown to love working out and look forward to every weekend, when I know I can be there, working on my body, being healthy.
