Got a good report on the bloodwork, cholesterol is down, triglycerides way down. I think my plan is working. I put cinnamon in my first cup of coffee every morning and eat an avocado almost every day. Cinnamon for blood sugar and avocado for cholesterol

(wink)
Since Covid, every time I come home from being around people, I wash my hands, and then wipe my face with the alcohol. I usually have a shot of vodka, to sanitize the pipes The bottle of vodka is much larger than the bottle of alcohol, so it lasts longer. It's all medicinal

(3,368 posts)Last year, the doctor recommended using olive oil. I followed that advice for a while, then I realized that I do not need to use much oil or grease anyway. I started using a moderate amount of bacon grease on the infrequent occasions when I need to fry something. Also, when I bake a cake, I do not put cooking oil in the batter. I use applesauce and a dallop of bacon grease. Seven months ago, I started working part time at a grocery store. The experience is productive from both exercise and knowledge perspectives. Take care.

(18,990 posts)I walk with my grand dogs a few times a week, and other short walks up and down steps , in the vintage mall where my booth is. out in the yard, I'll be doing that more now as I start feeding the birds more often.
I'm often carrying something, and sometimes, it's quite a workout getting a box from here to there
Keep up your exercise. It really keeps you healthy!

(10,507 posts)I used to exercise more in the afternoon, but my doctor told me to exercise in the morning because of the melatonin your body generates naturally in the morning. (I have sleep issues) Anyway, I listen to Keith Olbermann's podcast or a book (currently, finishing "What Happened" by Hillary Clinton).
