Odd...

[kickaha]

A few years ago, my cholesterol was at 248. Doctor insisted I needed to see a nutritionist, despite my eating the healthiest I ever had. Nutritionist concurred, and I cut out the one remaining cholesterol-laden item in my diet: cheese. Eight weeks of cheeseless hell, and my cholesterol did indeed change. To 272. Quack doctor threw Lipitor at me, and when I complained about *bad* muscle aches and 15lbs of weight loss, insisted I just needed a painkiller... apparently he missed the little tidbit that a full 1/6 of the US population seems to be allergic to statin-class cholesterol drugs, and I was showing the exact signs. Idiot.

Well, recently I've been eating somewhere between crappy and decent, and I haven't been to a gym or sweated in exercise in... months, maybe a year or more.

Yesterday my cholesterol was 223.

Let's hear it for eggs!

Well, I'm starting at 263, apparently. Exercise on the slow upswing, but ain't no way I'm dropping cheese. Less, maybe possibly perhaps, but not cutting it out. Ain't gonna happen.
We'll see how this turns out, in a few months!
