Summer Update

I went to Zumba at school until May. Felt really good and strong. Ate healthy salads most days at school. Didn't really lose any weight, but felt smaller in size. Summer hit and I haven't exercised at all, unless you count mowing grass, and I have a lot of grass to push mow. Finally had a doctor checkup and it was bad news. Cholesterol 256, HDL 39, LDL 172, Triglycerides 226. doc wanted me on Crestor, but I want to make more lifestyle changes, going on meds is a bandaid for the real problem, which needs fixed or you can never go off the meds. I've got 2 months to try to bring those numbers down and then get rechecked. If they are not coming down, I will go on Crestor for 3 months, continuing to make more lifestyle changes. I do not want to become chemical soup. I am taking 2 Cholest Off (plant sterols, stanols) in the morning with water, eating Cheerios for breakfast, eating lots of vegetables. Had another UTI so didn't take vitamin or other supplements. Will start with Fish oil, co enz Q10, green tea, and possibly Artichoke extract. So here are my current stats: Neck 16.25, Arm 14.5, Bust 45.75, Waist, 42.5, Gut 45.5, Hips 43, Thigh 23.75, Calf 15.75, Ankle 9. total 256 inches.
