doctor visit

Well today we went to see Dr. Baum for the yearly physical.....hate to go...but this one was a good one, since we have to go back for the labs again in 2 months ...actually January 20, 2008...the doc is giving the time to get our numbers down....getting old is not so nice....we now can't eat what we really like anymore. Tom can't have the thick butter along with the peanut butter in his jam sandwich.....and of course I have to get over the sugar romance and this is going to be fun right smack dab in the middle of the holidays. Have to give up the wonderful bread that loves me sooooooo much! So my take is if we can do this now we can do this for a very long time....

I do think that if Dad has his way he will secom with an over dose of butter dipped in chocolate wrapped around freshly popped pop corn..oh yeah and don't forget the wonderful rare top of the line 2 inch thick steak for a dessert. I on the other hand , don't want to secom from an overdose of my favorite food...just drop of in the sleep will work just fine...but if I had the foreknowledge of my demise I sure would have me a nice piece of cake or some other yum yum....hope you all don't think this subject is macabre....just the reality of life......Dad's sugars are now under control...again the butter the wonderful sweet sweet butter is his love afair that has to thin down....I now have the double wammy of fats and sugar ...they are not high...but do need more control....so the outcome.......................we bought a treadmill today. We bought the treadmill at Dick's at 50% off....the thing weighs 250 pounds....the sales guy put the thing into the back of the van....I phoned Dad and told him that we had a 250 pound treadmill to get out of the van and into the house and than would have to assemble it, which the salesman stated would ONLY take 45 minutes. So we moved the bookcase and the shoes and stuff from the entryway into the house from the garage....so DOLLY, hanging around in the garage, did came in handy....we moved the treadmill from out of the van...squeezed it thru the door...up a step at a time...onto the ledge to the next flight of stairs...now the new treadmill is on our bedroom floor waiting for us to take the 45 minutes to put it together...I figured the energy exerted alone today was a good work out....but the Lindt chocolate probley off set that ......yup life has changed and will we too..

Is the diet worth the cure. I guess I would say yes if you generally felt better on a day to day basis. I hate feeling unwell in anyway. But if I had to worry a lot about what I was eating and not feeling any benefits I think that I would give up worrying.
