The days of having my coffee mixed with equal parts coffee & half/half, the weekly baked potato packed high with cheedar cheese, bacon and sour cream, and the late night temptations of ice-cream and rich chocolates are now a thing of the past. Having been advised by my dr that my blood pressure is in the red and my cholesterol is almost double the desired level makes for a serious wake up call. Time to get back in control of this runaway weight train. The good news, i'll not only live to see my children grow but I've got lots of clothes awaiting a reduced waist line. :-)
