A Changed Woman!

This week I started taking 2 fitness classes.  On Monday, I had a very energetic Zumba workout and on Tuesday a Cardio/Core workout.  By the second night, I was questioning why I would take 2 classes and why I would do them back to back.  I feel like if they were spread out that I would make excuses not to go to one of them.  I actually feel fine and have no major aches or pains.  I did both workouts to the best of my ability and did not waver.  Is this really Julie Harb typing this into the blog?  Yep, it is!

I, sometimes, feel like I am on some reality show and that my blog is being published nationwide for all to see.  If that were the case, I would say, GREAT!  If I can make this much change in my life in a few short months, I know others can do the same.  If I have helped any of you along my journey, I am thankful! 

As of this morning, I have lost 31 pounds in less than 16 weeks.  I had a blood test on Monday, given free by the RiteAid Wellness Program.  The blood test showed overall cholesterol and glucose levels.  I am happy to report the results...my glucose is now down 30 points and is in the normal range and my total cholesterol has dropped 20 points.  I am going to be excited to see the full workup in April with my doctor.  My triglycerides were the worst and I am sure that with this low carb, whole wheat carb diet, those levels have dropped as well.

This is my story and I AM STICKING TO IT!
