One week, one pound…….errrh…..

Off to a blazing start…..not!

Trying to get my handle on this “eating right” thing. In addition, still trying to figure out this whole “exercise” thing. Conceptually I am there. Motivationally, I want to drink a beer and think about it some more, to get the right perspective on things.

SFF reminded me this morning about my cholesterol and said I needed to do something about it today.

What I really need is a drill sergeant like R. Lee Ermey

That, a good beating, and my jaw wired shut. That should take care of business.

SFF is getting lots of attention as usual, a diet-site wrote an article about her blog, and mentioned a few of her more interesting posts and comments.

The results are in….

	Mine	Normal
Total Cholesterol	258-high	<200
Triglycerides	151	<150
HDL	51	>60 optimum
LDL	176-high	<100

Guess I gotta get busy

A visit to the doctor

I had to go.

He was holding my scripts hostage….till I came in for a visit.

No narcotics, just good old fashioned BP medication to keep the morbidly obese alive a few more years. Apparently he wanted to run a few tests to make sure I was not gonna die before I payed up. The nurse weighed me (297 lbs.) down from 305 (a lifetime of work) since SFF has been eating right.

The big news is, I made a wager with my doctor to get my BP down without medication: Goal weight of 240-250 lbs. in 6-9 months. Now I have somebody watching over my shoulder.

That is Motivation
