Earlier this month I had an annual check-up with my doctor and they took a blood draw. A couple of days later my doc called me with the results. I knew it wasn't good when the doc calls. She told me my total cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, triglycerides were all too high. She then said that rather than just prescribe prescription medications, she wanted to see if I could lower it with diet and exercise.
I have been working from home since March and have gained 12 pounds. Since I heard the results, I have started to scale back my portion sizes and upped my exercise. I am s-l-o-w-l-y losing the weight. But I am wondering if that will be enough? She wants me to come back in a couple of months and take another blood draw. Have any of you done this?
