Be your own guinea pig

Day 1. I went to the nurses office this morning to check my blood pressure and have my fasting bloodwork done.

It was a mixed bag.

My overall cholesterol is good, but my "good guy" cholesterol is low.
My triglycerides are high
My blood pressure, while not considered "high", is higher than it should be - pre-hypertensive
My blood sugar is good.

Can you say wake up call?????

I am now happier than ever that I decided to do this juice fast. Clearly I HAVE to get serious about 1) cleaning up my diet 2) losing weight and 3) exercising more.

I've already started on 3 - now it's time to take care of 1 and 2.

Have a great weekend!
