The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well it's another good day. I took a personal day off to rest, trying to shake whatever bug is trying to get the better of me. Shaking, sweats, not able to stand up for a short period of time, light headed, not a pleasant but whatever it is/was.



Feel pretty good tonight. Took it easy today, caught up on our Tivo, watching my favorite shows. Had a good lunch and breakfast. The diet is going as well as expected, I guess. This morning my weight was 218.8 - compared to my 226. We recorded it on the scale, but I think it's 226 nonetheless.



Daniel was kind enough to take me to Bookmans used bookstore, where they have 1hr free bellydancing class. It was fun. It took a lot of courage for me to go in and dance in front of people, as I do in my livingroom via DVD's. You know who you are. ;) Anyways, they did most of the stuff I knew already, but it was nice to see different stuff that challenged me.



Got out of there sweating and feeling good. Now home, took a nice hot shower, and typing. It's a good combination. My beloved is helping so much I don't know how to thank him, truly. Not having a heart attack will be thanks enough, I hope. *smiles.



I'll catch up with everyone again soon.



Goodnight.

My goodness I'm busy the last week. To say its a whirlwind would be gentle. I'm a business owner now, hurray, now what? *hand me a shovel....start digging there...pointing to a mound of papers and books on my make shift desk.



This is going to be a while.

Well I went to my new Docs to get the blood test results; Oy. Double Oy. His exact words "You are a borderline disaster" Those were kind words.



I'm not much for medical terms, graphs, charts or lingo, but I do know 'bad'. The numbers were a little bit of a blur. What I can say is my 'good cholesteral is Down; my blood sugar is normal; and the rest has gone to hell.'



Plus my blood pressure is persistantly high, which is normal.



Take everything that is like "linphno???" "Bad Cholesterol" and that stuff and double to triple the normal number. This is the Honest to the Gods, swear on my moms grave truth.



What's the solution? A crash diet. No kidding, no joking, this is deathly seriousl. "I excercise and watch what I eat" "That's not good enough" he says. Numbers are numbers, hey I'm an auditor I understand you can't fudge the numbers.



So low to no carbs, not a drop of oil, no sugar, nadda. I'm on a majorly increased blood pressure, a niacin 500mg, my own one a day weight watch pills, and gods knows what next.



So tonight my beloved Daniel and I went out grocery shopping for light this, low fat that, and we went out to dinner one last time. Plus hit a used bookstore, one of our favorite, and picked up fun books about cholesterol/caleries from a variety of foods.



Yup, this is for real. From what I understand I must've been that close to another heart attack. Thank you for everything Doc, now what do I do with my Pepsis?



I'll post again. Maybe this'll be my 'how's my new diet working out" journal.
