I jumped out of bed this morning to weigh myself. I lost 3 lbs! I am now under 190! 189. So freaking close to 190 but still under! I am shocked. I really am. I haven't been eating the best these past few weeks but maybe my body is rewarding me for the times I did eat well. 25 lbs lost. That is crazy. I want to schedule my blood work again to see just how much of a difference I have made with my cholesterol and triglycerides. I have been having some extreme left arm pain and I don;t know if it's from stress of if my poor heart is struggling.
They say that cholesterol doesn't really matter anymore. It's the triglyceride count that can kill you. I picture my poor overworked heart. Filled with fat and lined with cholesterol. We were watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy and some guy was in for a "cleaning of the arteries" otherwise known as an angioplasty . "The balloon crushes the fatty deposits, opening up the blood vessel for improved flow, and the balloon is then deflated and withdrawn".
Sounds insane right? It's like the "lung brush" skit where Chris Farley uses a toilet brush to "brush " his lungs clear of tar and mucus. Disgusting but I know I wish I could have done it. I wonder if one can volunteer for an angioplasty? I mean we get colonics why can't we irrigate our arteries?
