Ok, went to my doctor to discus my blood work. I was there two weeks ago, nurse weighed me I lost four more pounds!! Woo Hoo! My bad cholesterol is a little high he said but just wants to check it in 4 months at this point. He said work on diet and exercise.
The down side, now I am in a two week break from school so no regular exercise routine. I can tell this is gonna blow already. I hate long periods without a regular routine. I always end up wasting my time on useless stuff. I get in a funky mood like a depression, and then I can barely get it together to take a shower each day let alone accomplish anything.

Eating on a dollar a day?
One California couple spent a month spending only a dollar a day each on their diet. You can read about their efforts here. They found out how hard it is to eat healthy on so little each day. Most days they could not afford fresh fruits. They ended up supplementing the diet by drinking Tang!
The sad reality is that over 1 billion people world wide have no choice and must eat with a dollar or less each day. According to this article, one 1 in 10 Americans are on food stamps. So even in our great county of abundance we have people who struggle.

Late Start Fitness Begginning
OK so I am getting started late in the realm of fitness. Or maybe I am not, maybe I see otherwise. I am 39 and overweight, about 235 presently, two Christmas"s ago I was at my peek of 260.
For the last year and a half I have been exercising a little and restraining myself at the dinner table a bit. For the last month I have been working as a Physical Education Assistant at a small combined Jr/Sr High School. While I have not lost weight per say, my belly has shrunk. I guess its turning into muscle.
Going to start pushing myself and my son on better eating and more exercise. Hes kinda chunky for 10, I love ya big guy! We went for a nice 30 minute brisk walk in the dark snow tonight. Bought some healthy cereal and a multivitamin as well as Fish Oil. The extra vitamins and exercise should also help with our ADD.
Ordered a book by Dr Daniel Amen, I will let you know what I think of it when it shows up
