Rainy Week But what I am doing mostly is being disgusted at myself for going to the doctor for a checkup so soon after the holidays. I should have waited for the cholesterol levels to subside a bit first. The result was a shockingly high cholesterol count and a complete change in my food habits. Since I have to go back in for another test in 3 months, I have that long to whip my lipid levels into shape. This is not too hard, and is even interesting. To help me along in this new adventure, I bought 'The Healthy Heart Cookbook' by Joseph C. Piscatella which I found on the sale display at B@rnes & N0ble. It really has some terrific recipes in it, over 700 of them, so I should be able to fashion a workable meal plan. I figure that now that I have invented a very tasty wholegrain tortilla, I am set for most meals. I am going to miss the cheese though. One of the movies I watched today was 'The Island' with Ewan McGregor and somebody or other Johanson. It looked fairly stupid, but I was surprised to find myself enjoying it very much. Oh, it was predictable and cliched, but had some great funny moments too. There is less than a month until Stitches, which is something to look forward to. Tomorrow I am going to make more tortillas and some soup, and try to fit in a walk between the rain showers. |
