I've thought about it for a while, but finally decided to stick with my idea--I'm no longer a meat eater. My cholesterol has always been really bad, with no change from dieting, but there was one thing left to test. I want to see if cutting meat out of my diet will affect my cholesterol in any way (but that's not the only reason why, I'm just particularly curious about that aspect). Honestly, I've gotten bored with meat. When prepared properly, there's a different story, but most of the meat here is cooked very unhealthily (ex: chicken fingers/burgers/fried chicken sandwich/etc). Today started the change, and no it's not an April Fools joke!
:) I love fruits and vegetables, even though there aren't many vegetarian options here at UT, I will make the best of it. On the bright side, I am not cutting out seafood because fish has omega 3 oils (very good for cholesterol) so I will up my fish-consumption once I get home--and actually have a fresh supply!
My Monday classes were canceled for April 5th, which means--4 day weekend for me! Couldn't be happier, I definitely need the break. I hope everyone has a joyous Easter! The only thing that could make it better is if we were all back home dying Easter eggs and smiling with friends and family.
