Cholesterol

So Mother, what is up with that Cholesterol level. From what I have seen that looks extremely high, which is surprising given how much you workout. So what did your doctor say you have to do? Is it just a food thing for you or what? I pledge to ease the temptation of fudge and party mix by eating all of that myself so it isn't around to haunt you. I am sure some of the other family members will volunteer to step up and fill in where ever I fall short in eradicating your home of those bad fats.

I went for a run for the first time in quite a while yesterday. I had an extremely painful side ache during the first 30 seconds, but I ran through it and made it the full 25 minutes. Next time I will wear a hat and gloves. It is really brisk this winter. Yesterday was the first time the temp. has been above freezing during the last 2 weeks at my house. I even put the chicken's heat lamp back in the chicken coop just to keep their water from freezing solid. I am not sure how effective that has been.

On the subject of chickens; my chickens are really quite smart. They heard that Greyson was leaving on a trip so this week instead of laying their usual two eggs a day they decided that they should only lay one egg a day since they had half the eaters. They are really quite bright chickens. I also told them about my mother's cholesterol issues and they said they would start working on some low-chol eggs. Yes, my babies have got to be the strongest, brightest, funniest, prettiest, most sensitive...... What? You are saying they are just pets? How dare you.

Anyway, my husband has been gone Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and has only called me 1 time. He must be having so much fun he forgot all about me.

He's running Mel. See the death in the family blog and you'll start to piece it all together. He isn't the calm, peaceful man you thought he was.

Cholesterol--my HDL is also very high (all the whole grains and exercise) so my doctor wasn't overly worried. However, he is not the one who is about to have a blood clot in a clogged up artery ruin his middle age (I'm still midddle-aged, right?) so I am going to make a concerted effort to work on it. I really needed this impetus to get me going anyway. Hopefully the weight will come off as the cholesterol goes down.

Maybe Greyson forgot his phone number or was kidnapped by gypsies.
