After much anticipation (insert sly, satirical face) and delay due to you-know-what, I had my well-person check-up with labs. The results are in…. too many lipids, not enough Vitamin D. Shocker!!! I’m old enough to not care about my age, my dad always says “age is just a number, it’s how you feel that counts!”, he’s always the optimist in my family. As a 12-year-old with a very dry sense of humor, I told my dad “40 isn’t that old if you’re a tree” and that man has the memory of an elephant because guess what birthday wishes were sent to me? Same line I gave him all those years ago…
Ok. So now I’m searching for “low-cholesterol, low-fat diet” recipes, per doc’s orders. I’ve done this before. I can do it again. Right?!? This is going to be an uphill challenge with two picky teens and the hubby working nights.
I’ll be reading fellow AFBA Blogs to get their take on eating healthy and scope out new recipes to try out:
- The Fit Habit: Weight Loss Over 40
- andthenmakesoup
- Her Modern Kitchen: Healthy recipes
- veggiebytes
Do you focus on healthy, low-fat recipes? I’d love to check out your blog, please leave a comment with a link 🙂
