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.
