My bad cholesterol is high. Luckily, so is my good cholestral.

His good is low.

I'm sorry, Connie. It was not my intention to upset anyone.

sj is a sweetheart. That is all.

I'm up to about 30 unanswered voicemails, and an additional 30 calls that I've taken. Must crawl under desk and curl up in tiny ball.

I suppose I should renew my search for a Better Damn Job. When I'm not curled in the aforementioned tiny ball.

I'm sorry, Connie. It was not my intention to upset anyone.

No, if I was a better person I'd be inspired, not cringing. It's all my own fault.

Where is NYC's snow? Why does everybody else get OUR SNOW?

raise the good with more exersize - it really works - then even if the numbers are too high- as long as the ratio is good they may keep him off the drugs . The only reason I am on a choleseral drug is - diabetes - they want my cholesteral as low as some one that has had a heart attack should keep their levels. My BP didn't go high until I had the bad asthma. but once again , even if my blood pressure never was high - I would probbably end up on some sort of BP medicine - because my kidneys and heart need protection. Once again , in teacup guy's favor, just a little bit more exercise and his bp may go down. When I was walking the library for 2 hours ( at an extreamely slow pace) by good cholesteral was in the 75- 80 (I think) range. 6 months later when I was no longer doing that it drop to 60-55 ( which is still good, just not as good)My sister in the navy had a doctor that thought it would be good for anyone over 40 to be on a cholesteral lowering drug - very few side effects ( my doctor would echo that - she never has had to take anyone off a cholesteral drug due to side effects) - and loweer cholesteral is good .

This just in for cholesterol-concerned Bitches. CocoaVia's chocolate almond bars do not suck, have 80 calories, and are full of vitamins, flavonols and antioxidants. I just tried them today and though they aren't fabulous tasting, they satisfy my sweet tooth and have some actual, you know, nutrition-related reason for existing.

Can I ask what he did?

sj, he started watching his trasfats - trying to cut them out of his diet. He started taking fish oil and eating at least one serving of oatmeal a day. There's other stuff too, but darned if I can get him on the phone to see what he did. The only thing he missess is going to get Pakistani food twice a week, he had to cut that down to once a month.

EtA: Oh and he started exercising 6 days a week instead of his usual 4.

and on another ,prettier,subject: I am watching last weeks Supernatural. I cant figure out why am I supposed to buy the idea that Sam can go dark. He is the only one that sees grey. It seems to me that the world -is-black-and-white people have a harder time when things get ambiguious.

but look - pretty

DawnK; can I ask, how long does each exercise session last?
