Doc says I have to lower my cholesterolso no more whole milk yogurt for me
I will take a break from yogurt for a while before I experiment with lower fat or even soy substitutes.
NYKAREN
I lowered my cholesterol and got off meds by doing low card high fat (not strict KETO) for a natural way to lower, read labels and eliminate grains and sugar. Substitute nut flours and Stevia (sugar alcohols work too but more expensive). Please don’t take offense. This is simply what worked for me. Wouldn’t hurt. I fixed my glucose and H1C numbers within 3 months too!
RV Rita on pg. 70 now
Rita - what's your daily carb target? Do you still have your daily food diary open so we can see what/how you are eating?

We had an absolutely lovely time with Max. Such a treat to just have one of them instead of all three clamouring for attention.
They made up the board game and played it with a couple of buttons from my huge button collection! Nice to put it to some use! (When Edie comes we might make a picture with them) Then Max used the extra printed grids to make some comic strips.
Then we strolled down to the beach to have an ice cream and play games with the pebbles.
When we came back I remembered that I had kept my own sons' books of Asterix comic strips. That was how they had taught themselves to read by reading them every night until they understood them. So I got them out for Max. He was absolutely delighted as he had studied the Romans at school. (They were translated from the French and all the names made up by a woman called Anthea Bell, who carried on until she was really old!)
When my son came to pick him up, he had a real dejá vu moment, remembering all his yesterdays. :laugh:
So, mission accomplished. Edie was a bit jealous and disgruntled, but we promised her a one to one day in the near future.
Bea just wanted to eat more of the ripe cherries from the tree in our garden!
One good thing today was that when DH went to open the French windows so as they could refill the bird feeder, he couldn't open it. I haven't been able to open it since we moved in, but he wasn't listening. Grrrrrrrrrr! So we applied a liberal dose of WD40 and went round the side door to open it from the back. At last it opened and I continued to spray every side crevice of the mechanism. At last I can open the door to my own back garden!!!!!! :drinker:
That makes me very happy. :bigsmile:

RV Rita - Did not know about that at all premade bacon sounds good! 👌 I’ll have hubby keep an eye open.He’s still looking for my pop chips y chilly Cow I want but Sams Club didn’t have it yesterday we tried Walmart together.Swear if you want it poof* Don’t want it they have 3 shelves full! They had that enlightened ice cream spilling out of the isles didn’t look like even 1 carton had been grabbed...taking that as a sign on taste probabilities.Found the powdered peanut butter in the peanut butter isle but we looked at it thought it looked unappetizing.
JR ready for nap time has decided even tho his knee has a scratch he can walk y run again. So tough Lol...Carried him everywhere all morning he sat with blankets on his legs hammin it up since 6am-12 .
Got to admit he’s a dedicated actor lol.

PS - I could see my bonus calories about to disappear in a puff of smoke, so I picked up my 17 lb kettlebell that I have been using as a living room door stop since we moved here. While DH and Max were making the game I did 5 × 10 swings. Ooouuff! I am way put of practice. But I did it. Then I put on my recording of the Shim Sham and danced through it a few times. Then we walked to and from the beach café. So I'm giving myself 300 bonus calories. 900 in all today.
I would like to get back to the kettlebell as it's a quick calorie burner, My knee doesn't like it much, but today it survived ok. It's great for a day when I can't get out to run and you only need the space of a hearthrug.

rita and lisa thanks for the cholesterol lowering advice. I love a goal so I’ve made a deal with the doc to lower it myself by mid sept deadline. I’m eating Plenty of greens and oatmeal, almonds and salmon and avocado. I will miss my full fat yogurt but am ready to say goodbye to most red meat. I do think white flours don’t agree with me and am eliminating them as best I can. Sometime I slip and fall into a bowl of pasta but I will watch
my step now that I’ve got a deadline to meet! And it will be a good habit/lifestyle by then.
Got another patch of the garden squared away, just planting grass seed and potted a few more herbs, parsley, oregano and more basil. Can’t wait to cook with them!

afternoon ladies~ stunner of a day outside, and here I am inside... going through a bunch of photos and trying to sort some to give to my kids and important ones to put on the wall..was looking through tax information and was supposed to send 2 checks last week to the IRS and state department, instead of paying 2,000 in taxes for alimony in one lump sum,im paying it 4 times a year which isn't horrible.. so they will get there money in a day or 2..

Toms older brother Doug and his wife Iris are back from Florida so they were there, and then DFIL brother and SIL and niece where there and Tom and I so he had a whole table full.. he ate pretty well.. and promptly fell asleep.. so everyone left..4 -

Rebecca ~ Wonderful photos! She has such black hair and pretty eyes.
Burglar alarm went off again at BnL's house so DH is on his way to check it out. Yesterday, he had to call the insurance company because two huge trees came down. Don't know if the house is damaged but he doesn't think so.

Bananas: Your fatigue sounds like misery, and so does hayfever. Have you had a checkup with your physician recently? I hope there isn’t anything serious causing your fatigue. :flowerforyou:
Heather: I envy your ability to see your grandchildren regularly. I am happy for you. I haven’t seen DD’s children in over two years. I will get there this summer, one way or another, RV or airline.
Rebecca: I love the baby pictures. :bigsmile:
We got some necessary medications from the veterinary office but didn’t see a live vet. Still thinking about whether to switch to a different office. Yoga friends recommend a practice near here. I may go in and see what I think during the week.

Katla - I'm sorry it's so difficult to see your grandchildren, but I know you have to consider your husband. I'm sure there is a way for you to make that trip sometime soon with a bit of planning and determination.
Where there's a will, there's a way.

Rebecca- She gets cuter with each day! I’m loving the blue onesie.I couldn’t put JR in them my hands have trouble with buttons so everything from jewelry to clothes has things to accommodate me. Part of working decades after many decades with our hands. I had to put him in the regular shirt with pants. My Mother-in-law prefers the onesie so we bought zipper ones for us to use.
NYKaren/Rita/Lisa - for high blood pressure we have lemon juice we add it to our water,teas,or hubby the brace one takes a shot of it in the morning. Then friendly diet for it we print out diets for each condition put it side by side crossed stuff out what’s lefts our can haves lol. Not much left with that but oh well will survive. Here’s a link to where we download our lists for IBS to gout! Some pictures from another site that you can also print.We also get salt free to reduced everything .
