Diet update
Oops, sorry, supposed to say; "lifestyle change." *g*
I've had some minor cheats, but even when I cheat I look at the fat content of what I'm cheating with. Like tonight, instead of having a Ding Dong (65% fat) I had hot cocoa (4%). I am gonna have to start watching the portions better. Right now I've been cutting myself some slack until I adjust my brain and body to what I have to do.
Also need to do some smart grocery shopping and take a bunch of stuff to work to leave in the break room I can no longer have, like cake mixes and ramen noodles. Fifteen years after quitting Weight Watchers I've discovered I still prefer diet Pepsi to Diet Coke, although I still prefer it the other way around when we're talking about regular soda (which I can only have as a treat now...)
Got a call from the doctor's office today about some of my tests, so I asked about my cholesterol. The number is 250, with 160 being bad cholesterol and 89 being the good kind. They want me to be below 100, so I have my work cut out for me! Good news is that I'm not the least bit diabetic, which was a worry after having two brothers and an aunt with it. My number there is 89, and they like folk to be between 80 and 120. Whew! :)
