(cholesterol molecule)Well, there is a bit of bad news. I went to a health fair at work today and discovered that my cholesterol is really high. The lady who took the sample was surprised and told me to exercise and eat better. I decided to go to another booth because she couldn't have been right. I told this new booth what just happened, and they told me that it must have been a mistake. "You look healthy and are too young for a number like that." The lady at the new booth took a blood sample and confirmed what the person at the previous booth told me. She was very shocked. She also told me to exercise and to eat healthier.
I think I exercise quite a bit, and my eating habits aren't completely terrible, but I guess I should make a change. I am not sure what changes should be made. I just had my bloodwork done 5 months ago for a life insurance application, and my levels were much lower (I confirmed this when I got home by pulling out the report). In fact, I scored well enough on my reports to get the lowest risk rating.
What in the world has happened in 5 short months? Is this a result of my rope swing accident? I had to take 3 weeks off at the gym. Perhaps this is because I am back in school, with limited time to eat healthy meals. Or...an even more sinister culprit...maybe this is related to my recent vegetarian diet? Sure all the research says fruit and vegetables will decrease cholesteral, but as a vegetarian, I can consume as much ice cream as I want (which I have been doing).
The vegetarian thing has been a little annoying today. I had to eat a salad and another grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. For dinner, I had beans, rice, and vegetables made by Amazonia(Cheesesteak's wife). It was good, but it doesn't fill me up like meat does. I was so hungry that I had to eat some ice cream. I couldn't resist. I'm sure my cholesterol will be higher tomorrow, but will it be because of the ice cream, or the lack of meat?
Likelihood of torturing a dog: 6.9% (I'm 3 times as likely today because I'm miffed about this cholesterol thing. Maybe if I had some dog meat my cholesterol would be lower?)

I'm nervous about this diet, I heard one time in sunday school that vegetarianism can cause the soul to leave the body and go directly to outer darkness. The teacher said the only cure is to hook up the comatose body to an IV filled with a meat solution. I'm not sure if it's true but that's what the teacher said.
