Week Fourteen - Rest Stop - What Really Causes Cholesterol

I am sorry I have been so lax in posting to my blog.  I have been sick for the last few days and haven't felt like doing much of anything and that being said I did not get to my appointments with Dr. Scott and so the week will start with a Rest Stop and not a day.  As I checked my email today I had over 600 emails in my in box.  I think I am in trouble, it is going to take some time to get those emails checked.

Anyway, back to my Cookie Zone.  I lost just a couple of tenths of a pound more than I gained last week and I was thankful for that.  A sixty pound loss is within reach.  Hopefully this week.  Vick and my friends have commented on how baggy my clothes are getting.

I am linking to an article that talks about that fact that saturated fats are not the reason for the rise in cholesterol in our LDL's.  I am not taking a side either way, just giving food for thought.  It is titled "It Ain't The Fat People."  The link is:  http://authoritynutrition.com/it-aint-the-fat-people/

I will have to admit I have gone off the grid a little more lately than I should have, but that is life.  I will also admit I feel better when I eat clean.  So I always end up going back to it. But as I have said before, some of the habits I have made over the last sixty years are going to be hard to break and will take some time.

Vick commented tonight I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for the program Dr. Scott has me on and I told her I was still behind it.  She then asked if I had been keeping my food journal and doing everything the Dr. asked me to do and that I had committed to do and I had to admit I hadn't so I now commit on this blog to get back to being serious about my program.  My goal is still to lose 100 pounds by the end of the year.
