Yesterday I blathered on about my weight, crummy CL number, so on. It was still smart to get a gauge of where I’m going, bodily. The results were odd yet not super complete in my opinion because I had a blood test near the end of last year. My “head” doctor (as I call him) said the numbers were pretty stellar for my age. Maybe I’ve been going downhill starting from the Vegas trip. I know since Thanksgiving on, I was indulging in too much food and definitely in the sugar department.
Anyway, the thing I went to had more to it than just having blood drawn, the tea leaves read and the usual lecture of “no more Whataburger, especially the fries.” There was a web page I went to and I gave more details about my health. Let’s start with the bad news: I haven’t been eating enough vegetables/fruit (my brain had been turned off there); I don’t exercise at all (no, I will not sell you my Wii Fit); and more of it involved why I see Dr. Custer every month. The good news: booze and smoking aren’t a problem (duh!); I drive near the speed limit and there’s an adequate fire safety in my house (double duh!). The better news, this was managed by the Mayo Clinic, yes, that Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The best news, I received a phone call from a very nice lady associated with MC to have some reminder/assessment calls for the first half of this year to help me with my weight goal; I would like to get back to my old svelte 190 range eventually. Ditching the first 10 pounds in 2008 to stay out of the upper 230s was achieved. I haven’t had any success breaking out of the 220s. I think this will help and I received a $25 gift card for participating.
The first phone call will be on March 2. I’ll let you know how it goes.
