What to Eat?

I have been a bad blogger lately. I just haven't had much to update.

I've been doing good, I saw the cardiologist on Monday. My blood work came back and my cholesterol has come down from when I was in the hospital, but it is still high, so I just have to keep working on that. They had me double my fish oil per day.

When they did the echo of my heart when I was in the hospital there was a portion of my heart that wasn't beating as fast as it should because of what had been blocked. So I will go in June and get another echo done to look and see if that is okay or if it is still damaged. Hopefully all goes well there.

I have lost around 15 lbs. The weight loss is slowing down but I am still working really hard. I have been exercising 6 days a week and eating good. It's a long road, but I am feeling way better and my clothes are looser so that is good.

Tonight, we are going to the Mavericks game and I was wondering what I could eat. Before I would have eaten a hot dog and nachos or a pretzel. Boy was I shocked when I looked those things up. Nachos have over 1500 calories, more than I've been eating in an entire day!

I found a really good article on making better choices at places like that. http://www.active.com/nutrition/Articles/The_Diet_Detective__Eating_at_the_stadium.htm.

I just have a little bit of time since I'm on my lunch break but will try to update more later.
