Day 9: Cholesterol Numbers Back to Normal!!!!

Guess who got her blood test results back today?  ME!  Guess who's cholesterol (both HDL and LDL are right where they are supposed to be?  ME again! Yep, that 8-week challenge sure helped.  Unfortunately, my triglycerides are still a bit high, so the doctor suggested to stay off the sugar (I think I figured that out two posts ago, thank you) and to start taking fish oil twice a day to help control it.  Who knew?  OK, probably anyone who has ever dealt with this before, but it was new to me. 

In other news, Macy's is in the middle of their crazy pre-Thanksgiving sale, in which their cashmere sweaters are the price they ought to be, instead of the price they usually are.  Crew and V-necked long sleeved cashmere sweaters are $59.99 (today and tomorrow only). I live in those sweaters in the winter, so they are well worth that price to me. Get on over to Macy's before 1 pm tomorrow to take advantage of the sale. (Today's blog is sponsored by the letter M.)

Finally, a quick movie review for those of you who care.  Thor 2 (I have no idea what the name of the movie is) was highly entertaining and well worth the $5.50 Tuesday special price I paid for it.  Even when you add the $3 for popcorn, it was still WELL worth it.  Loki (Tom Hiddleston) made the film, as always.  The effects were loads of fun and the music, very exciting.  The bad guy was boring, he had nothing to do, but he had some cool WMD's (weapons of mass destruction, for those of you sleeping during the Bush era) which he used well.  All in all, a good bit of Tuesday afternoon entertainment.  Stay ALL the way through as there are 2 little extra scenes.  Hopes of an awesome new villain in the 1st scene and a bit of silliness in the final one.  Oh - and I saw the preview for RoboCop.  Brilliant casting!  I can't wait.

Be happy and healthy!
