A bit of good news

OK, going to celebrate with carrot sticks! The Cholesterol total has come down from 186 to 163. The LDL (bad stuff) from 133 to 91. The blood sugar from 117 to 93.
This is from 3 months ago. Have been 90% veg. diet for the last 3 months.
I sing the prases of "Engine #2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn.
The nurse practitioner is happy, I'm happy. Weight down 12 lbs. Not great, but better than it was, and will stay the course for 6 more months at least.
Frankly, other than ice cream, I'm not tempted to eat much during the heat of the summer. Have found that I like fruit sorbet as much, if not more. Still lots of sugar, but no fat.

Went to the dog park later than normal, 9AM instead of 8AM. The dogs were happy, I was dripping when we got home. Meeting a GF for lunch, then staying inside working on the space man quilt for the day.
