Next

Ok, the Doctor had a situation requiring him to reschedule the appointment.
So, I made an appointment with my Chiropractor for tomorrow, and will see Dr. Brader next Monday.
That gives me time to further recover from my hospital stay. I feel strong, but have taken some time off to think.
I had a visit tonight from the "Scootin Fool". He came over to introduce me to his son, and to show off his new lights. I would have liked to take a ride with him, but I tried to start my Helix, and it was too cold and too long between runs, and she wouldn't kick over. I have to get a trickle charger to keep the battery charged. It's much smaller than a car battery, and harder to get to. I have to remove the seat and make sure the cables don't lay over onto the metal and short out.
I took some pictures of the scooter in the dark to show off the LED blue lights. Now, I will try to send them to him so he can post them. I am not real good at doing that, but I'll try until I succeed.
So, I thought today:
If it took me all these years to learn how to eat wrong, and get set in my ways, how long will it take me to break all those bad habits and replace them with good habits?
I know the answer......but I ain't tellin you!

Health roadblocks

I have another appointment tomorrow with the doctor and dietician.
This is a follow up. I am supposed to have lost another 5 pounds since I didn't lose enough weight during this time period.
I should be around 212 now instead of the 224 that I weighed in at.
I had the blood sugar problem that I am working on and was talked about in a previous post.
I still have the Celiac problem.
Pretty soon, I'm not going to be able to eat anything. I'll just sit around and look at food, and get sick.
The above sentence is just my ranting. Things really are going well. I am losing weight and getting into shape. I feel good.
I am changing family doctors at this time. I will send my previous doctor a letter explaining my decision.
My Bariatric doctor is very good. I will keep him and his team. Good people all!
I am getting a glucometer to measure my blood sugar levels.
I will be going to a psychologist to make sure I don't have any problems that would prevent me from continuing. I've worked with shrinks before, and found them helpful. It allows me to make statements I wouldn't normally make to my family or friends.
I am hoping for warmer weather soon. I want to get outside more often, instead of working out in the basement all the time.
