Reprieve

I got a letter from my doctor yesterday.  Shes decided that since my triglycerides and overall cholesterol numbers have improved I can stay on the stinky fish oil regimen instead of trying a new prescription.  I consider that good news, despite the nastiness of the fish oil.  She also feels that I dont need a retest until my next physical, which would be in July.  So I have a pretty good grace period to make some healthy changes in my life.  Now all I have to do is take advantage of that time and just do it.
 
Ive noticed that when Im taking proper care of myself healthy food, regular exercise, plenty of sleep I tend to take more care with myself, if that makes sense. I pay more attention to my hair and my makeup, I do my nails,  I am more selective with my wardrobe choices.  Seems like when one thing slides, the others tend to follow, until there is a great big snowball of hot mess sitting in my chair.  Right now, I work a night shift in an office with two other people, neither of whom who would give a rip what I wore to work or whether or not I fixed my hair. In fact, I doubt either one would even notice.  So its easy to get lax, especially when things are so busy at home.  And lax I have been.

Thinking about how one good change often leads to another, I decided to start with the easy parts and hope the motivation spreads like a stomach bug at a daycare center.   To that end, I spent some time at the Sephora website Friends and Family Sale time, yall! and now am anxiously awaiting delivery of some girly goodies, including a treatment oil for my badly peeling fingernails, some volumizing foam for my hair, and a new brush head for the neglected Clarisonic skin brush living in the bathroom cabinet.   Of course I bought a bottle of Walkers favorite cologne, too, and of course that has already been delivered.  Sigh.  Men get all the luck.

  1. Glad you are doing so well, and it does sound as though you are. Joe takes 4 fish capsules a day and our Beagle gets one every morning. They told Joe it helps regulate the cholestral. I knew I would miss spell that. Keep the good attitude. So glad your report is as good as it is. Now there is only one way to go and that is up.

  2. My doctor suggested freezing fish oil caplets to help squelch the flavor. Just be sure to read the bottle first to see if they say not to. I take Lovaza, the prescription, and it doesn't have any flavor at all.

  4. Like I said before... keep doing what you're doing. It's all good. In the meantime, a little retail therapy never hurt anyone. Hope your new stuff gets there soon. Take care.
