Thursday

I've joined the cult

A few weeks ago I posted about my GERD. And that seems to be way under control, I had some blood drawn to do some additional testing and the results came back mostly good. Liver. Good. Pancreas. Good. Thyroid. Good. Spleen. Good. Kidneys. Good. Blood Sugar. Good. Triglycorides and Cholesterol. Not so fast.

Surprise surprise I have high cholesterol. After being given several options I chose to start the South Beach Diet and take some extra supplements. My first day was Tuesday.

Tuesday was a bitch and a half. I ate an omelet for breakfast, but all I could think of was a coffee roll and coffee breakfast I wouldn't be eating anymore. The coffee is out because of the GERD, the caffeine is not good for me. I struggled all day but remained strong.

Yesterday Ani packed me a snack of celery, which really helped during the day. Today I'm doing much better. I'm not obsessed with thinking about it. And I'm not so hungry. I can't wait till I can try Magic Hat "Fat Angel" beer. But I can wait for that. I gotta get on the bike again today. To supplement the healthier eating. And yes part of my zeal is not only for good health, but to beat Mike's weight loss.
