Ha!

I had my blood drawn for a three month check up on thyroid, cholesterol, etc.  I've had high cholesterol for at least a year (that I can remember it being checked) and in January it was super high.   The doctor decided not to put me on any medication and advised me on what to eat.  Of course, like everything I go online and start googling and then go to the library and check out books about it.  I found this one book, though I can't remember the title, and I thought it was really interesting.  It even had suggestions and recipes in it.  I decided to try it, after all, it was all food that I liked.  Guess what????  Today my test results came back and my cholesterol is BELOW what it should be!!!  Both me and doctor were surprised.  She said to keep doing whatever I was doing!  So, I'd like to give a shout out to my mother (and let me take cover if she would ever discover this blog!) and just say "BITE ME!"  Go ahead and call me a fat pig now and tell me I'm going to die by heart attack by the time I'm 40.  Just try it and let me know how those words taste.

I'm so pleased with myself right now.  Like I couldn't have had better news between buying misses XL shirts last night and finding out that I lowered my cholesterol on my own - no medication, no nothing.  Just determination and good eating.

Today I saw the movie My Family Wedding.  It was ok.  I was the only one in the theater laughing, but that may be because they were speaking in Spanish and not translating it.  Considering that I speak Spanish, I thought those parts were hilarious.  So there is 1/5 mommy movies I saw in the theater.  I did enjoy myself though.  It wasn't crowded and it was a rainy, dreary day - perfect for movie going.

Other than that, no new goals to brag about, just the usual.

I just read general stuff on the web. I'll see if I can dig up the book though...that was what was the most helpful. I'll google it at the library tonight and let you know.
