New Blood Work Results

Today, I went to the doctor to get my blood work results. It was back in September 2012 when I first reported my results after diligently setting out to eat right, exercise 3-5 times a week and drink Shakeology. The results from September 2012 are posted below along with my latest results:

September 2012
Cholesterol 198 (dropped 7 points from original blood work)
HDL 65
LDL 113

December 2013
Cholesterol 194 (dropped another 4 points)
HDL 71 (increased 6 points)
LDL 103 (decreased 10 points)

These are AMAZING numbers and the Doc was very well pleased! Truly, this proves if you put your mind to it and stick with a program you too can make drastic progress.

I cannot say it enough, find an exercise routine or begin to walk, eat right (that means cut back on your dairy, red meats and portion sizes) and start drinking Shakeology. I know, you are skeptical, and believe me, so was I, but the benefits, the blood work and the results prove that eating right, adding Shakeology to your diet, and exercising are the necessary players in your fitness journey.

Fifty is just one year away for us and we are blazing a trail that will hopefully keep us on target into our fifties and beyond. Seriously, if you have any questions about Shakeology, or the programs we have implemented, please contact us - you are that important!

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.
