Steve's Blood Work Results are In!
Earlier in September Sherri posted her most recent blood work results. It took some time, and a trip to the doctor's office, to finally get Steve's results.
A trip to the doctor's office you ask? Why yes! The Naval Hospital would not give Steve his results over the phone like they did for Sherri. This of course, caused us some alarm.
Once we met with the doctor he told us that Steve's blood work was flagged due to his cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Sherri was disappointed as she was expecting Steve to have good numbers. Well you can only imagine her surprise!
So here they are:
Cholesterol 232 (dropped 50 points)
HDL 43
LDL 160 (dropped 47 points)
TRI (Normal)
Blood Sugar 106 (High)
Steve's numbers are still high, but the point is they are DROPPING. He has made vast improvement and the doctor is pleased to see that his body is responding to exercise and eating right. We are more confident than ever that Shakeology has played a very big part in this success.
We are really excited to check back in a year on our blood work. We are expecting those numbers to drop even more!

The Results Are In
Back on August 2nd Sherri posted a recap of her fitness journey and some goals she had set for herself for the next year. The goals she posted were these:
1)Complete the Race the Reserve 5K on August 11th;
2) Begin INSANITY on August 13th;
3) Continue to expand and make better food choices;
4) Drop a few more inches;
5)Get blood drawn to see if her counts have improved;
6) Continue to drink Shakeology daily;
7) Run at least 3 miles 2x a week;
8) Run another 5K and
9) Learn to love the body God has given her.
[There are two goals that have been striked though because they have been completed.]
The purpose for this post is to report on goal number 5. It was two years ago, that Sherri's blood work came back and the doctor told her that her cholesterol was borderline high. He recommended she implement exercise and streamline her diet.
Sherri gaffed it off and did her own thing for about a year. It wasn't until last August, that she woke up and realized she was the only one responsible for her health. She's not in control of her death - only God knows her date of birth and her date of death, but she can control how she takes care of herself - her temple - by what she feeds it and how she exercises it.
Last Thursday, Sherri went in and had her blood drawn. Yesterday,she called the doctor to get her results. She was a little anxious as she waited to hear the findings:
Cholesterol 198 (dropped 7 points)
HDL 65
LDL 116
TRI (Normal)
Blood Sugar 91
Potassium 3.3 ( a little low, but nothing a bananna can't fix)
Thyroid (Normal)
Calcium (Normal)
Blood Count (Normal)
Overall, Sherri is very pleased with her numbers! She looks forward to seeing more improvement as she continues to drink her Shakeolgoy, eat right and exercise on a regualar basis.
This was a huge step in her fitness and health journey! Yippie Yahoo!
Steve had his blood drawn on Wednesday and will get his results some time next week.

P90X Completed! What's Next?
Today marks the 90th day of P90X. Overall, we enjoyed the routine and plan to do it again soon. Since many of the routines are nearly an hour long, we are thinking about cutting the routines in half; especially, during the summer when there is so much more to do outside!
So far, Steve has continued to loss weight and his mid-section is toning up. Sherri is maintaining, but would like to see more results and thinks her eating habits are slowing her down.
The last two week of the program was hard to get through. Working out everyday is not easy as it takes a lot of commitment and quite frankly, we just didn't bring it! But, there have been other hurdles we were jumping too: life seemed busier and the body became just plum weary.
If this happens to you please do not get discouraged! If you miss a workout day (or two) - start again, just keep pushing along and don't quit!
The best thing that has happened to us is that we feel better and we can do more! We don't huff and puff walking up stairs nor, when we go for brisk walks. Remember the goal here is to make a life style change for the better. A healthier you, a healthier us!
So, what's next? We are going to focus in on training for the 5k "Race the Reserve" in August. Our plan is to 1) do cardio two or three times a week, 2) attempt to run three miles a day five times a week, and 3) throw in one or two rest days to give the body a break.
Looking forward to seeing what we will accomplish over the next several weeks.
