Been out sick for several weeks. Lost appetite. Lost weight. But I’m finally feeling better and my appetite is returning. I visited the Wellness Center yesterday for the first time in weeks. Felt good to be back.
The good news is that after more than two decades on blood pressure medications, I am completely off of the meds. My blood pressure is practically perfect and it’s great to not have to refill those two scripts every month. Also no longer taking Metformin. I kept reading about these horrible symptoms that happen to “1 out of 3″ folks who take it. I am one of those ones! Still taking Zocor, even though cholesterol numbers are looking good.
As I wrote in my May Fitness column in the Food & Dining section of the Journal, I have lost a total of 33 inches since beginning this journey in early December 2007.
I continue to appreciate the encouragement from readers and bloggers. And I love hearing your own stories about your own journeys.

Way to go, Leslie! I’ve been watching your progress from way up north and I had to let you know I am proud of you - and envious, too! I’ve gotta make myself get on a plan soon!

Good to see you back Leslie. Congrats on the progress.
Leslie, you should be so proud of yourself for sticking with this. Glad to hear your upbeat health news. Congratulations!
Hello, Leslie! I just came across this blog via a link from the Daily Journal Biz Blog. Is there a way to subscribe to this feed via RSS? I’d love to keep reading.
(I’m originally from the Tupelo area. It’s wonderful to be able to keep up with folks back home.)
