health stuff
Got my lab results back today and levels were "mildly above optimal" so I'm supposed to cut back on refined carbohydrates and saturated fats. And, of course, exercise more.
The good news is that we just bought a rowing machine with our Christmas cash so I am already exercising a bit more than I was when I went in for my check-up.
But the harder part will be cutting back on the refined carbs - we eat a lot of bread, rice, and pasta with dinner. Guess I need to start reading the labels more and make sure I'm getting whole grains. My biggest struggle will probably be breakfast because cereal tends to be my go-to. Any suggestions?
