I do not heart oatmeal.

I just thought that you all should know I really don't like oatmeal. Oatmeal is suppose to lower cholesterol though, so I've been eating it. Really though this whole thing sucks, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to work anyways. I did talk to a different nurse from my doctors office and learned that not only is my bad cholesterol high but my good cholesterol is very high too. Shocking since this is what runs in my family. Things are not really suppose to happen this way as one prevents heart disease and the other causes it, but whatever I still don't really understand any of this. They say if I my bad cholesterol doesn't go down on its own then they will put me on drugs for it. Not really sure I want that either.
So far however I've succeeded in basically eating more fruits and vegetables. Oh mom would be so proud. Turns out I really like oranges, so I've eaten at least two oranges ever day for the past week. Also have eaten more salads etc. I also learned that I like tuna. No not the tuna that comes in a can. Real Ahi Tuna that still looks like fish. Though I only ate it raw in sushi, turns out I like sushi too as long as there is no Salmon, cause raw Salmon still tastes like Salmon.
This tuna shit is really good actually, and well the nurse said I should eat more fish. I guess no I can because I now like a fish.
I still don't heart oatmeal though. I'm pretty sure I never will. I'm eating it though well shit its only breakfast right, I can still like my other two meals a day.

This is bullshit day one.

Recently I had the joy of learning that my cholesterol is a lovely 270. Now word on the street is that's really bad for my age and size. Now Im not overweight, though I could probably take off about 10 to 15 pounds and be Ok. That would bring me to about 115 120 so since Im not a midget that would be a perfectly acceptable weight. I digress a bit though because cholesterol for me has nothing to do with my weight.
Over the past years I quit smoking, stopped eating fast food, and started eating more meals a day instead of over eating. Basically I kind of pissed that now they want me to quit doing even more things. No red meat, little to no dairy, no butter or oil, no mayo, and lets face it the list goes on and on.
Things Im allowed to eat fruit, vegetables, and turkey burgers. I find the turkey burger funny as he'll because the are actually higher in fat than a normal burger. And am I really the only one that wonders what they have to do to turkey to give it a ground beef texture. Turkey is not ground beef and shouldn't be forced to try to be. My new plan is to blog about my journey to lower my cholesterol. Oh good news part two Im suppose to work out everyday. I really don't see this going very well. Im not good at forced behavioral changes. That and I didn't really eat that bad in the first place. Though maybe I could stand to eat more fruit and vegetables. UGH this kind of blows.
