    I just got fasting blood work done this morning. Most of my stats are within normal range, but my cholesterol is way too high. That worries me.

    Are you taking any statin? I've had to watch my fat intake because of my Type 2 diabetes. But this past year, using a continuous monitor, I have been doing well. My A1c has been around 5.6, nearly at a prediabetic level.

    @tree the dosage used to treat cholesterol was 2000mg three times a day, the standard recommended intake is 12-18mg a day, that's WAY too large a dose. @Gerald Wilgus I am not taking any statin. The doctor will see me next in a week to discuss the next steps.

    That's a lot.
    I didn't mean go mega-dose.
    Just add some.

    It's been helpful to me with depression.

    Some of the ramen brands I can pick up at the local Korean market are supremely God tier.

    Oh yeah, authentic East Asian ramen makes the American stuff (like Top Ramen and Maruchan) taste like wet paper. Avoid Thai ramen though unless you love spicy turned up to 11, which I don't. There's now a Hmong market in Yreka to serve the marijuana planters, and they have stuff like this.

    I have some Dashi in the freezer that I made for a ramen base. I am fortunate that there is an Asian Market in Traverse City. I picked up the Dashi and Bonito Flakes there.

    I want to order a pizza, but I don’t need all those calories. A pizza with a half ton of pepperoni on it. If I did order that, who is coming to my house to help me consume it?

    Cauliflower pizza crust is actually great. l haven't seen vegan pepperoni but l would try it.

    I feel like going out to a bar tomorrow night to pay a cover charge, buy a soft drink and some nachos, and watch the band.

    When I was 21, I had no problems finding a group of guys to spend a Saturday night with, eating pizza, drinking Mountain Dew, watching movies. I'm no longer 21 and all of those guys are no longer in my life. Now friendship is more about quality than quantity, although I do want to expand my social network.

    I feel like maybe starting off my exercise routine with cardio twice a day may be overkill.

    when l first started, it was 20 mins cardio, l finally was up to 50 mins. l have to restart, l had to many errands to do. So l will do 30. But l throw in 20 on the bike, the rest is treadmill.

    I also started with 20 minutes a day. Then I started with 20 minutes twice a day. Now, I can do 45 - 60/day. Sometimes, it is all together and sometimes, I still split it up.

    I feel like doing some cardio later on tonight. Late night cardio. Burn off this nervous energy I am in possession of.

    I feel like I want to hike a long nature trail on a nice sunny day when those days will finally arrive.

    That sounds fun. It can be nice to bring a camera along as well.

    Same here, I feel all cooped up when I cant do that.

    Hell, I think I will walk a mile both ways to Fred Meyer and buy myself some fresh pineapple.

    I am wearing a rubber band on my left wrist and using it to snap myself out of unwanted thoughts. Sorry, Mom, you are not living in my head rent free any longer.

    I went to a Vietnamese restaurant that was the best such food in town two decades ago, but the quality went way downhill since it changed owners a couple of years ago. I find that to be very sad. I will miss their high quality hot garlic beef. This time it had no flavor.

    Sounds like you'd enjoy YouTube's Chris Lewis when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine. So many of his travel videos seem to center around his meals....all of which go over quite well with the Vietnamese especially since he's fluent in their language.
