Well after years of a good cholesterol number (180’s), it’s crept back up to 212. Though still not “bad”, it’s higher than I’d like. In fact, it was 186 back in January!
Why’d it’d go back up? Diet in my case. Over the past few months I’ve been eating fries, potato chips and other bad snacks. Also, pasta, burgers and sandwiches (sorry, Jared of Subway) are more on the menu recently. All things that I’ve been avoiding rather successfully for the past 3-4 years. Yes, balance would be smarter and I’ll have some balance with Weight Watcher meals with my wife 2-3 times a week. Otherwise, back to the protein and veggie diet.
So, back to avoidance and we’ll see if I can get back to at least under 200.
