Nature vs. Nuture vs. Atkins?
Finished my Induction last week and promptly came down with the flu . Ended up going to the doctor and got weighed on the same scales that I set for my original weight here. Since scales vary I figured this would give me a real indication of the weight/water I'd lost during the 1st 2 weeks.
I went from 141 to 135. Not too bad I thought . Also my blood pressure (the bottom part - don't ask what it's called) went from 70 which is just great to 60 - In fact the nurse commented on how very low it was?!
Anyway - I think it's interesting that if we come from overweight parents (both mine are - and sister too) and hereditary of diabetes and high blood pressure, yet we all ate "healthy" by normal standards - how great it is that just by changing your eating habits you can dump three really crappy health problems and cheat heredity!
Ready to be done with the flu,
Carrie
