About me

I had a double by pass when I was 46. I also have diabeties, high blood pressure, and fibromyalgia. My new cardiologist said that I could reverse my diabeties and heart disease , and blood pressure if I started eating right; so that is what I have done. In the last 6 months, all my blood work has come back to in the normal ranges. My overall colesterol is 96, Yes, I said 96 !!!!!! My "bad " colesterol is so low it is off the chart. My "good colesterol is still not that great, for the simple fact that I smoke(forgive me, I'm only human), but he said my "bad" colesterol was so-o-o-o-o-good, that it evened out my "good" colesterol from not being so good. I eat tons of veggies, raw and cooked. I read all labels, and buy nothing but "0" colesterol, saturated fat, or trans fat. I am totally carbohydrate intolorent,( it makes my stomach blow up ( like I'm about to deliver a 10 lb. baby), so I really have to not eat any "bad carbs", and even the "good carbs blow me up( like beans and wheat bread), so I really try not to do that either. At present, I am trying to get my protein and carbs from Whey protein shakes, and eggs. I eat no butter or margarine, mayonaise, or stuff like that. I try to find different seasonings and conbinations of veggies that will change up some of my veggie meals, so I don't always feel I am eating the same thing. I am so into reading my health books, and I thrive for more and more information to get me healthier. I want to prove my Dr. right!!!!!!
I love all the tips I get about Natural seasonings like mustard for instance ( all the fabulous things it does for you body) or cinnamon, stuff like that !!!
I love to dance with my husband, and I have decided I want to be around a long, long time so we can dance our lives away !!!!!!!!!!!!
