Bad Cholesterol Higher

I went for my annual checkup a couple of weeks ago and got my report yesterday. My bad cholesterol is at a higher level than last year's results. My "good" cholesterol or HDL is low. I must cut down on red meat or meat in general. It is tough as I do not like fish or seafood. Annual checkup always tell me things that I already know or make me depressed. I have to watch my diet, exercise more, less salt, etc, etc. All the fun of living is kind of take away.
I am exercising more and this is a good start. I will live a long and healthy life. And this is not denial or blind optimism. I am taking concrete steps by cycling more often.
