keeping the blood sugar levels down!
I webt in for my first check up since I began the health challenge. I will get my 3 month blood results back this week. My blood pressure was the best it has been in 10 years.
My blood sugar continues to stay down. The latest one, taken Sunday, was 110 with fasting.
I am still determined to lose the 50 pounds. It is a struggle. I keep focusing on the long term effects it will have on my health. My doctor told me it is not out of the realm to get off some of my medications in the future.
The Post Dispatch health challenge has helped me to lose weight and get my blood sugar levels down.
Thanks and enjoy the coming week!

Here’s a mantra for you: "I survived Vietnam; I can meet this challenge." That’s Smith talking. His ankle was permanently damaged during combat. Now he wants to lose 50 pounds and get his blood sugar levels under control so he can be around long enough to watch his three young grandchildren grow up. "I thought this (Healthy & Fit Challenge) would put me out in the open," he says. "And I have the feeling that if I fail this time, I’d let not only myself down but the readers."
