sweet and simple life of ME

Diet? not so good.

I am not really doing so good on my lower my cholesterol diet. (although I have lost a few pounds)

especially since my neighbor got home from vacation from Philly he is so thoughtful and brought us a few of our favorite treats from our Glorious stomping grounds.

Thanks allot JOE!!

I Saw this on some strangers blog while shamelessly lurking and thought it was kind of fun. So here is what you do (if you want to play) go to your forth picture on your fourth file and POST.

I am lucky because mine is not a ugly picture of me , but a cute one of Savannah. This was taken summer of 2008 while we were volunteering at This is the place park, a living history pioneer museum. Savannah was learning to knit on a loom. What a great summer , it realy was fun,  I am not a dork okay! well maybe a little.

flax seed oil and oatmeal

I went to the Dr. yesterday. I have been having a few digestive problems for a few years now and for the last 6 moths they have gotten worse. I won't go into any details. So I go the Dr. and he runs all the regular blood work. he comes into the room to let me in on the results and tells me  I have very high cholesterol, 245 but that isn't the worse of it my triglycerides levels are so sky high they won't even register, He gives me the run down on all the doom and gloom stories of what fate no doubt awaits me  in the future he also tells me that if the levels don't improve ALLOT with in the next three months he will put me on meds. I don't really want to be on the meds so guess what I am NOT eating Chocolate , Surgar, Red meat, Bacon, Ham, Hotdogs,Cheese, Milk, Eggs, Fats, CARBS. what I get to eat is FLAX, and Oatmeal !!!!!!! yum. Don't you just hate it when you go in for one problem and come out with all kinds of other stuff. We are still running tests for the other issue hopefully that will look a little brighter.

I realy need some meal ideas that are easy and yummy. please send them my way.
