As far as the hdl try adding flax and fish oils into your diet along with more fiber and see if that changes it.

Try as I might, I could never acquire the taste for either. Same for coffee. Allergic to tea as well. Not that it is a big loss. As a general rule, I avoid caffeine and alcohol. SignatureT2 - DX Oct.

It's the exercise I can't stand. I need to become better friends with my treadmill, but walking on it is really more boring than watching paint dry.

FWIW - I started off with daily walking - basically got bored to tears. I've since taken up bicycling - much more enjoyable as long as the weather cooperates; and snowshoeing - if you're in an applicable climate, I highly recommend you try it - "if you can walk, you can showshoe". > Jay > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com >> Psyllium, Fibre, Muesli and Nuts >>>>I gotta share: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > cooperates; and snowshoeing - if you're in an applicable climate, I highly > recommend you try it - "if you can walk, you can showshoe". Well, we do get some snow but I've never heard of snowshoeing -- what is it, you go walking in the snow?

Well, first you get some snowshoes. They are sorta like tennis raquets; a frame with mesh. They go on the bottom of your shoes/boots, and when you walk on snow, you don't sink in. It takes some practice, and you'll discover some interesting new muscles for the first while, but as with any exercise, you'll get used to having those muscles, and learn how to get into the rhythm of the activity. It's definitely fun, and if you are near areas with wildlife, there's no better way to wander into the woods to see the critters. SignatureLarry, T2, Saskatchewan, Canada. DX 24 Aug 07.

Snowshoes were originally developed by the American Indians - you may have seen pictures of folks walking with what looked a little like tennis rackets strapped to their feet. Modern snowshoes are not much like that - lots of high tech innovations - but basically, it is an aid for walking on the snow without sinking in up to your hubcaps. Very simple to master. There are a lot of 'nordic centers' around the country which rent snowshoes as well as cross country skis. I really enjoy it. Did one hike in Jan or Feb of '06 when I was out for several hours and got about 30-40 pictures. On a nice sunny day, it is just incredible. Last winter, here in southeastern Idaho, we didn't have a lot of snow, so we only got out three times - once to Harriman State Park, once to Grand Teton Nat'l Park, and once in Yellowstone. In a good year, we have half a dozen great areas withing about 15 miles. > Thanks, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>>> http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com >>>> Psyllium, Fibre, Muesli and Nuts >>>I gotta share: >>> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Jay Have you tried putting a TV in front of it? >>>>I gotta share: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> > Have you tried putting a TV in front of it? Yup. TV is much nicer when I'm in my recliner and not on the treadmill :-) Jay > Oh, no, I love red wine. It's the exercise I can't stand.

Even in bad weather, unless it's really ferocious, you can walk outdoors if you get the proper clothing & shoes. There are also mall-walking clubs you could check out. But if you're stuck with a treadmill, how about a tv or an ipod to entertain you. bj >>>I gotta share: >>> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >Jay I set my airwalker up in a position that lets me see the TV.

Same here -- I can walk in the treadmill and watch T, and it's still more interesting watching paint dry. Jay Thanks for everyone's good wishes and encouragement. I hope I can reciprocate!! Jay > Thanks for everyone's good wishes and encouragement. I hope I can > reciprocate!! You are here, that's a great start. That's the great thing about this group you will find. We are here for each other. Each of us have bad days, and need the boost when all the things we have to watch get overwhelming. There ARE a few exceptions, but just take things with a grain of salt like the rest of us do. SignatureT2 - DX Oct.

One area I still have to kick myself on every once in a while is the exercise. Can't wait for the snow to really start falling - I do relish the showshoeing - very happy that we took that up two years ago. It's great exercise, uses about twice the calories of hiking, and some of the photo ops are incredible!! ray >I gotta share: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Happy Thanksgiving!
