Six Month Check Up Today

On a good note I went to the doctor for my six month blood pressure/blood work check up today. My blood pressure is down lower that it ever has been and even the doctor was impressed. It is strictly from my elliptical exercise, I know that.

I my falter and I may fail with my eating but I get up and do my areobic exercise almost every day early! I am proud of that. I am trying to put some added pressure on myself by changing some of the resistence settings on the elliptical. The doctor also gave me an injection in my right shoulder hoping it will cure my pain in the shoulder and right arm. Then I can do more free weights.

I must get my sugar craving and eating under control. I think I don't eat enough good food and it makes me crave sugar. Then I don't have a bite or two I binge and skip the good food.

I can't wait to get my blood results back and see if my cholestorol is down too.

Hey, to my brother, I think I had that same teacher for the first grade and I can't read worth crap either. If I don't know a word I just can't figure out how to pronounce it and mostly I just skip over it. I read a lot of books but I haven't read much the past couple of months. I think I need new glasses.

I did buy a good book not long ago, Fight Fat After Forty by Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H. This book seems to be mostly for women though.

Keep the Faith!!!

Week Off Work

My work is shut down for a week and everybody has vacation. So I will see if I can control myself for a week and eat sensibly and get exercise too. I have some traveling to do. Going to Austin to see family and fireworks. That is if the rain we have been having stops. I will go anyway. Surely the fireworks will go on. It is a big deal in Austin!

I don't like to weigh on the weekend, but I think I will when I am home. So we will see if I can do what I need to do and maybe lose a pound of two by my next post.

Happy 4th of July America!!!! God bless our troups everywhere. Freedom reigns, but seems like just barely sometimes.

Shocker of a weekend

Last weekend I decided that I needed to be able to eat a few things that I haven't had in months. Like mashed potatoes, a couple of bisquits (6), and something else I can't even remember. First, I body immediately felt horrible when I ate that stuff. I felt stuffed like a bird. And, then to top it off I got on the scale on Monday morning and weighed four pounds more than on Friday.

Now for the last two months I have had a horrible time trying to get below a point. Just down a pound up two pounds. But after the experience last weekend I really know that this is a lifestyle change because I don't like to feel stuffed like a turkey.

When you eat something and you feel like crap immediately you should know that you shouldn't eat that again.

I have been working hard this week!!!!! Painfully hard. Those pounds are not gone yet.
