Oh and Yes disappointed with blood results - very much so !

having come off my cholesterol simvastatin and was so happy to be off it - my points had gone down from 7.7 to 4.7 - now back up to 5.7 !!!! so the doctor said it looks like it runs in the family and that i need that 20mg tablet...... so back on them.

AND my bloods were down from 64 to 52 after 6 weeks and then 44 after 3 months - was happy - really wanted them to be down to 39 to 40 when I got my retest last week but alas it had gone up by one point.  Good news was that the doctor said that AS I had maintained (sort of) over the last 3 months then I could drop a metformin tablet.  So i am only on 1 tablet metformin a day and 1 20 mg simvastatin tablet for cholesterol.  It's not the results I wanted.

I vowed after getting the results that I would be exceptionally good now for 3 months and lost another half a stone and get back off the cholesterol tablet and off that last metformin tablet, but I have been quite awful where food is concerned and although still exercising been doing half hour at the gym instead of an hour and 15 mins trampolining instead of 30 mins etc, and looking after luna i really don't get the time to do the amount of exercise I used to do when she was a baby and slept a lot of the day.  Now she does not sleep hardly at all, and it's so difficult to get the exercise in.  However I am averaging 10,000 steps plus plus plus per day, so I'm so much more active than I ever was. 

Ah well, I've giving it my best shot and WILL NOT give up trying.  I want to be 10.5 (9lbs to lose) by middle of August and WOW those results again and get off these bloody tablets. Challenge set.

I have a holiday in two weeks time I really want to lose 4lb's by then to wear my size 12 trousers as they are at the moment quite tight and I will, no doubt eat more on holiday so won't be able to wear them on my hols at this rate.  FINGERS CROSSED and stop being so bloody stupid Gill x
