I did it!!  My goal was to reduce my cholesterol from 212 last November to below 170 for this last check-up.  Today, I got the results...  169!  Now, I have to just keep it going.

  It really is forcing me to think about how much I eat and what it is I eat.  My downfall?  Desserts.  In fact, someone was telling me about an article with the 20 worst foods (healthwise) in America.  I looked at the list and really didn't see anything that I eat regularly or would even want to eat frequently.  HOWEVER, check out that worst dessert! Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream!  That is just a shadow of the Better Together Brownies I found at O'Charley's when I was in Louisville... a dessert for two (or in that case, for one William  )!  I can (and did) clean off a dessert plate like that in no time!

  So, why even bother working on my cholesterol?  I can really only think of three reasons: Nancy, Myles, and Chloe. 

  You know... I kind of miss xanga, I think.
