I like patting myself on the back. It's Wednesday October 12, 2005 and for the record...it's a good day. Yesterday's yoga put me in the hot tub last night to loosen up my lower back. I felt sensitive in my knees as well. I suspect these pains were due to many positions my body had not journeyed hithertofore. Sorry, I like that word. Today I feel fine...good news. Today I'm off to the urologist to discuss my high PSA values. Aaargh, no fun. I'm feeling healthier already. It's difficult to decide how to chronicle this entire process. So, I'm just gonna blog it, and Eric will add his two cents in along the way. We are making this a real case study. I want the FOYP to be scientific, public, successful and fun. So far...we're winning. I'm eating a lot of fiber to try to remove my need for the Rx Lipitor a cholesterol medicine. I have not been eating any fruit for the last three weeks because, the Metabolic Wizard thinks this will drop my very high triglycerides (500) down to a normal 150. My next lipid panel blood test will tell us if fructose is the culprit for my high triglycerides. I miss my fruit! I'm very slowly increasing my activity. Taking my time to get up to speed will save my joints and help me not get DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)...and truthfully, because my sage counsel and exercise guru Eric says, "Easy alpha man". |
