I am going to make that tomato soup. with the heavy cream. (thank god I have good cholesterol )
Lol you just reminded me I forgot my cholesterol meds today, they started me on them last week and I've forgotten to take it about half the time.
edit: rectified.
....if you have not, then check out eating Walnuts , 3-4 a day to control Cholesterol.
Also, weirdly enough, Quercetin..... beneficial for multiple other things too
I've been borderline for years and have kept it under control with exercise and my diet has always been steak, potato and salad based which I guess is no longer what is considered a death sentence. But with the covid shit quarantine I have slacked on exercise and gone up from 30 to 34 waist in the last year (actually I am having to squeeze in 34 now so its either get this shit under control or goto 36. I'm pretty tired most of the time now and guess i'm just at the age that time has caught up with me. I pulled the bicycle out the other day and only made it half the distance I was doing pre covid so i'm not pleased with that result but I'm going to keep up and do my best this summer to get the spare tire under control but if I can't by fall then its gonna be fuck it. They have me on tons of pills for other shit for the last 22 years and I've watched my mental capacities decline markedly as well as the physical. So I'm basically figuring this is my last push to stay healthy if I fail i'll just call it a day and eak out my last few decades eating whatever the fuck I want and let the chips fall where they may.

hahahaha
I merited you for reflecting a kind of typical response - regarding not really having direction....
Personally, it seems to me that it is better to try to make a somewhat flexible plan that you can stick with, and even if it is not a perfect plan, if you at least focus on keeping the BIG three in some kind of consistency, then you might have some chance of at least maintaining rather than deteriorating. In other words, as we get older, we are likely going to go down the drain if we do not at least attempt to make some efforts at improving our BIG three. When we are younger, we can do all kinds of dumb shit, and our bodies have a lot of resilience.. not so much the case as we get older.
Here are the BIG three.
Diet - at least minimally cut down on the process foods and high sugar foods and attempt to eat naturally in the sense of the kinds of foods that your grand parents or great grandparents would have eaten.
sleep - try to get a minimum of 6 hours per day of sleep.. .. up to 8 hours a day is o.k.. as long as you get at least 6 hours per day.
exercise - 30 minutes per day on average - but if you cannot do it every day, then try to at least have something like 30-60 minutes 5 days per week.. resistance training is good.. but there is also streching an cardio.. Usually it is better to do the resistance prior to the cardio.. but if you are at least doing something --- even just good pace walking 30 minutes per day.. it would be better than not doing anything.
