"I'm so excited.... I'm so excited...."
Why? do you ask? Well I had to go to three doctors this week, and
the first doctor said:
"Londa, your skin looks good for another 6 months"
the second doctor said:
"Londa, your cholestrol has gone down 35 points, your doing great! But still want to see you in 6 months"
the third doctor said:
"Londa, your Thyroid is showing that I have upped your synthroid a tad, but get blood work in 2 months and we'll see how it is. And I think you might be taking too many vitamins. because you have more than enough B12 in you. " "I said, I haven't taken any" SHe said, " You are eating very healthy, keep on doing what your doing and I'll see you in 6 months."
So everyone, when you quit smoking, you may feel like your going nuts, cough all the time, gassy, stomach aches, sore throats, irritible, constipated.... you name it. Then 22 months later, you feel great! In fact a doctor says you have too many vitamins. I must of ate real healthy before my blood work!!!! Did you people know that smoking kills your B vitamins?
NOw all I need to do is cut back better on sugar! I still have my extra 20 lbs, but it'll come off! I'm working on it!
God Bless everyone and thanks for letting me share!
Love, Londa _________________

You sound fantastic, Londa. How wonderful to get such glowing reports from all those docs. You're right. Smoking definitely does things to our systems that we don't even know about.
Keep it up. BTW, I'll join you in attempting to drop those extra 20 pounds. However, I feel better than I've felt in years, even with the extra baggage. _________________

Hi Londa!
That's wonderful news. You must feel so good. I'll help you get motivated to lose 20. That's what I needed to lose before I quit 6 weeks ago. I haven't gained any yet........(keeping fingers crossed!) But, now is the time for me to get serious about losing.

Howcool is that, Londa? Especially the cholesterol going down so much. Gosh, you almost sound like a commercial for oatmeal or something.
Gee, I was going to bake you a cake as a reward, but now I'm not sure. But, I think I can bake you one, as you can have all of the internet cake you can eat. Any requests? _________________

I would like a white cake with butter cream frosting... then for dessert I would like a hot fudge sundae... for my beverage I would love a nice tall glass of ice with Pepsi in it.
Now I think there might be a sugar addiction problem here!
YA THINK!!!!

Londa - that's such a wonderful report...from THREE different doctors! I think you must be doing something right!!! - that's in addition to quitting which was so important to starting the rest of the healthiness projects! I'm so glad you shared your good news! _________________
