Update on cholesterol:
So in March of 2008, I was tested when renewing my group insurance/disability plan and these were the results:
Total ratio 5.96 (no good)
HDL .9 (low)
LDL 3.96 (no good)
Triglycerides 2.4 (no good)
Also about 350 lbs and smoking
Now I am a "risk" for the insrance company and no longer qualify. Nice. Sort of a bottom here

So I went to doctor to see what could be done, and got into different things - quit drinking pop, decided to quit smoking (didnt quit - just decided that I would), quit drinking so much. Then I got re-tested in Aug 2008:
Total ratio 4.87 (ok)
HDL .83 (low)
LDL 3.29 (ok)
Triglycerides 1.66 (borderline)

Ok so on I went, kinda muddling, no real plan...no knowledge...then we found out my dad needed a triple bypass - second "bottom" if you will, then I quit smoking April 19, started on here in June, and now...watch this....
October 23,2009
Total ratio 4.35 (desirable)
HDL .82 (still low)
LDL 3.1 (desirable if < 3.4)
Triglycerides .95 (normal)

Awesome job Brent! So happy for you and all you have accomplished! I wish more people could see that changes can be made the old fashioned way - hard work & discipline (and lots of cauliflower ) and not rely on drugs or other aids. You are such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!

2 small ground turkey balls

Do you make these yourself, or are these something you buy frozen at the store? I have bought frozen meatballs, but haven't seen ground turkey balls. Also, on your chicken you have everyday, how do you prepare it? Do you grill or bake a bunch of chicken all at once, then just freeze it to take out and use individually?
The reason I'm asking, is I'm am trying to figure out how to "pre-plan" more of my meals ahead of time, because if I wait until meal time to do it, I'll just end of eating a PB&J sandwich, not having the patience or time (packing meals for work, etc.) is my worst downfall (well, one of my worst - the list is long...). So any tips or help you can suggest would be much appreciated!
You seem to have it down to a science...I admire you for that.

I love cooking extra food at night to bring the next day. Or on sunday night I'll boil lots of eggs for the entire week. It's quite easy once you find a system that works
