I actually like tofu! Especially as part of an Asian stir-fry, etc. It just has to be seasoned properly. General Tso’s tofu is very good, and I have to think less processed than newer “fake meats” (that have better consistency.)

Then again, I get High cholesterol from breathing and blinking, so I’d better like it.

Doctor just gave me 12 pills - take one a week to lower cholesterol and get retested in August. I haven’t taken any. Going to try zero animal products and alcohol for the three weeks before the test (and less than usual- which is already low - for the whole time) plus I’ve already been back on my workout schedule for about 6 or 8 weeks and seeing results. That’s supposed to help.

Good luck and try no oils also;) Have you tried the Eat to Live or How Not to Die cookbooks?

I have not. Fit For Life, years ago. My diet can vary from year to year, but miles ahead of the average “meat and potatoes” and fast food diet. (That’s one reason I so look forward to eating whatever I want at Disney.)

No caffeine, very little processed sugar, only olive oil, rarely any red meat, rarely any cheese except mozzarella on pizza, lots of fruit, lots of veg, zero milk/butter. I was vegan + fish for a number of years. Added chicken and turkey back in a few years ago, cholesterol didn’t budge (stayed high but didn’t go higher.) It’s very hereditary with me. Dad died of a heart attack at 45. I’ll be 48 in 3 months. He smoked, ate fast food for lunch every day, overweight, no exercise, etc.

She just returned to Star Tour gift shop. CM was on medical leave for a while this year. When she returned she was temporarily in Epcot but when they transferred her and Mozart back to the Studios she was also given full time status vs PT which she was so happy about. I enjoy watching the two of them interact with guests and they pin trade while waiting for my family to come out of ST
It is my understanding Mozart was a service dog but became also a seizure alert dog after he self taught himself to notify her she was going to have a seizure.

That is the Magic of Disney. They could have walked away from that CM due to her limitations but instead hired her and then gave her FT after being out for so long. She and her Pup are beloved by guests and fellow cast members. Both are awesome.

Note he has his own CM ID and graduated Traditions with her.

Yeah, that was definitely her. I remember her working in one of the shops and how her dog just laid behind the counter at the gift shop and was so well behaved. She was working the Muppets gift shop that day

Hate tofu. I'm definitely a carnivore. I don't feel well if I don't throw some sort of meat into my meals.

My dad swears by oatmeal for lowering cholesterol. He eats it weekday mornings, every morning. He still has to take cholesterol lowering medication, but his has been under control for a while now.

That was actor Corey Haim that died in 2010. He and Corey Feldman were friends.

Oh ok. I see you answered @Cesar R M . Still catching up on here from my vacation. CF was with a VIP group. DH actually loved both Corey's and I think is the only person alive to like the movie License to Drive. He wished he would have caught his face 3 seconds earlier so he could have at least yelled out "Hi."

So I really need to vent about getting older! Just had my annual eye exam. I only wear glasses for up close work like reading, puzzles, computer, phone, etc. You get the picture. Well, I had some floaters back in Dec that were in my left eye that occurred after some flashes of light. I ran to see one of the doctors, and she couldn't find anything wrong. Ok I have had floaters before so I can deal with them.
Well, my left eye has been bothering me a bit the last several weeks when I read. So, today he said my left eye was 3x worse than last year. Grrr... a new prescription so I can see better, new glasses. Then, I had to go through a baseline scan of my optic nerves to see if there is damage. I will hear from the nurse to see what showed up. It seems like the older you get, there is something else to have to worry about. Ok vent over. :banghead:

I am still using cheaters only when I need to. I do notice that after I use my phone or computer for a while, my eyes don’t see as clear. I am pretty sure that using these electronics is not beneficial to our eyes. I do take lutein supplements though.
