Another Reason To get Healthy

My husband, who can ted to tell me very little, well most comes after the fact the same day or even a week later, comes home last night after work and says " I have high blood pressure". He proceeds to walk out of the kitchen like it was a general statement people say everyday. Kinda like "Hi Honey, how was your day?" That is how nonchalant it was!

A little dumb founded, I asked "What makes you think that?"

"I had a psychical today and that is what they told me." he replied

More news to me, I asked " A psychical, when did you schedule a doctor's appointment?" This is a man who despises going to the doctor's office.

"For work" he groaned "Every year I have to have a psychical, remember, the state law says so!" (he is a driver)

So of course, I start firing questions at him and finish with "Well, that's not good!"

My husband is only 31, my first thought is wow, he is a bit young to have high blood pressure. He could stand to lose about 50 lbs. I am sure they told him that but with his lack of info, I may not hear about it till next week. They suggested he go to his regular doc and get on some medication. I am going to look around on the Internet to see what else he can do besides start popping pills at 31.

Alternative To A Diary

A lot of people keep diaries; they put there inner most private and secret thoughts on paper and hide them from the world. Things that they may never tell anyone are kept secret, between sheets of paper. I don’t have one for fear that someone in my house would find it and not respect me enough to read it. I know sounds like I have real trust issues!

If you are like me and have that same fear that someone you know may find book extremely personal thoughts but still find writing helps relieve some stress why not keep an on line journal. No, I am not talking about a blog, I am talking about an online diary. Like a therapy journal easy to remember because that us the name of the site.

Please No More BBQ's

OMG another one! So this weekend we have another BBQ to go to. Completely understandable, it is of course Labor Day weekend. This one is at my husbands Dad's house. I hope it will be the last one. We have gone to a lot of parties this summer and they all have had alot of food!

I never really got back on track, well I mean, I have cut out the junk and a lot of carbs. Eating a lot more fruits and veggies. I found when I did the Zone I felt great physically. The main problem was that it was so damn expensive! I was spending nearly $300.00 a week on food and that wasn't including stuff for my son. So I think I will take this weekend and try to use the same concept just not so hard core!

So I Thought I Was BacK!

Last night my husband and I went to dinner. We shared a pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. Oh and we had a pitcher of beer. I will say that I have not had pizza that was that good in a long time!!

So this morning the pizza is sitting in my belly like a rock. I don't regret eating it, but I certainly don't like the way I feel.

Today is a new day and I will start over. One pizza certainly will not kill me!!

I'm Back

It has been just about 2 months since I fell of the diet wagon..what else is new? I am back on it again and hopefully will stay motivated a little bit better this time!

I did ok..only gained back 5 of the 20 pounds I lost so it wasn't a complete bust.

The New Diet Pill....Alli

There is a new diet pill out that has been approved by the FDA. It is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and it is called Alli. I must say that it peaked my interest for about 15 minutes. That is until I read the side effects.

Alli is available over the counter, which means you can walk into any CVS, Rite Aide or any neighborhood drug store and buy it without a prescription. They claim it will prevent the break down 1/4th or 25% of any fat you consume. Sounds good right? Sure but do you really want to fart and secrete an oily substance? Have loose stools or possibly run the risk of possibly crapping your pants because you cannot control your bowel movements?

I am an overweight person myself and I have had a weight problem since having my son 12 years ago. I guess most of my weight problem is from shear laziness. In high school, I was very weight conscious, ate right and exercised.

I look at this pill as an aid to allow overweight people to continue to eat poorly. There is a diet plan that you should follow and abide by for maximum results. How many people are actually going to use this pill as it should prescribed? My guess, not many! I have a feeling that most people are going to think “Well if it will break down 25% of that McDonald's cheeseburger I just ate. I could have another and another!!”

I am sure most of us have experienced an upset stomach with diarrhea after consuming McDonald’s food. I know I have and refuse to eat it. So now imagine the mess you could have after indulging in a few more burgers and fries then you should have had!!

Food, food and more food!!

OH MY GOOODNESS...I feel like I ate a tone this weekend. Saturday my husband and I went out on a date. It has been since Oct. 2006 since we had been out, just him and I alone. We went to Chili's for dinner. I had Monteray Chicken, which I might say was very good!! It was a marinated chicken breast smothered with cheese, bacon and topped with fresh diced tomatoes. I gave my husband my smashed taters and ate my veggies. Very Good!!

Sunday we went to a Father's Day Pool Party. It was all family and there was a tone of food. Again I tried to behave! I had a piece of chicken, small piece of steak and fruit salad. Then desert came out and that was the end of it all!! I did try to keep it under wraps. I have 5 pretzels that at a Hersey's Kiss stuck on them and a brownie. Boy they were good!!
