Last week I went in for my blood work and received my report. I used to take garlic and hawthorn tabs but for the last year I have taken nothing because I wanted to find out where I stood naturally. My cholesterol is not low but it's not terrible!! The problem I have is my LDL is terribly high and my HDL is very low. THAT'S not good!! That's why I've been looking so hard for alternatives to certain foods I enjoy until I get my taste buds used to doing without. I don't need all the cheese, milk products and red meat I eat anyway and I know that, so that's why I decided to try nutritional yeast. I figured it would help me through those times that I'm just "dying" for cheese, plus B-12 is derived from meat and nutritional yeast is fortified with B-12!! I made pickled garlic this year and that will come in handy as well. Garlic is supposed to help control high cholesterol too. I also love ice cream but I love sorbet just as much. Hubby is not crazy about sorbet but he's going to get more used to it!! Tee Hee!! I know what to do and have all the tools to do it - and with this report my hand has been forced!! Hubby's cholesterol is lower than mine and he has no problems - I cook for both of us - I'VE GOT A BIG PROBLEM!!!!! Hubby is NOT going to be happy - healthier maybe - but not happy!!
Hubby and I are in love! Pete will always be in our hearts but having Sam has allowed us the joy of owning a dog again.
Hubby nearly giggled when Sam jumped into his arms. Sam just adores Hubby and they are already attached at the hip!!
There are joys in life that are unexplainable. How do you explain how much animals can mean to you? I can't. I just know that Hubby is happier with his new companion and I'm glad to see him smile again over a "silly dog!!!"
