    In the beginning of January my husband found out that he has high cholesterol. So as a family we decided to go on a low-cholesterol "diet" and also start working out. This for me was a challenge because I hate vegetables and pretty much anything that is healthy. Anyway, I sucked it up and we cut out all red meat (for now) and have been eating mainly chicken, ground turkey breast, and vegetarian style dishes. I have cut my portions and try to follow the half plate should be your veggies, one quarter protein and one quarter carbs (on a smaller size plate, Lol).

    Now as for exercise I started by walking as fast as I could outside for at least 30min. Then I moved to jogging as long as I could (like a minute, not kidding) and walking until I could jog again. Then I started Zumba on the wii, which is somewhat fun and definately makes you sweat but I got bored with it. Now I am doing Turbo Fire, which is like kick-boxing and dance mixed together. Really fun and super high-intensity. I've been stuck at 158 for about a week or so and this morning I was finally down to 157.8. I know only .2lbs but hey, every little bit counts in my book. Hope this helps and let me know if you need any help. I'll do what I can :) I need help with the eating stuff!

    I still do it periodically, you would probably like Turbo Fire too. I just don't like the strap thingy you have to put on for the wii... I wish I would have bought the actually DVD's... It's funny though, my kids like to do the zumba with me, Lol
