Finally made the decision

Well, I started and sputtered and started again...lose a couple...gain a couple. However, I went and had my blood cholesterol levels checked and they were way too high. The Doctor knows I don't want to take medicine so we agreed I had 6 months to get it under control. The best way to lower cholesterol is to eat a vegan diet...which is what I started this past week...so far it has not been hard. I have already lost 2 lbs. I am also suppose to exercise daily...not doing as well on that front yet.
Luckily, my garden is producing wonderful corn on the cob, tomatoes, cucumbers. peppers, zuchinni, and onions so the vegetables have been delicious. I want to make this my way of life and have it last forever not just the 6 months. I am excited to see what the blood results will be in 6 months. I need to get my over-all cholesterol number down from 261 and my ldl down from 175. I can do this!
Ron is being really supportive.
