Monday Ramblings
May. 24th, 2004 08:03 amI finished the weekend driving home and then mowing the yard. I hate to admit this, but I started a dreaded low carb diet last night.
I'm a little chunky guy, I know, and I honestly find a stocky man attractive, but I have health concerns that I need to address now. My dad was built like me, maybe a bit heavier, and he developed adult-onset diabetes, high blood pressure, and a stroke, all of which eventually led to his demise a few years ago. All of his doctors said that his weight contributed to it and warned my mom that if any of her kids were built the same way to watch out for him. Well, out of five kids, I'm the only one.
The idea of losing weight is a good one. I'm not looking for washboard abs (although a nicer, bigger chest would be nice). I hope to drop 30 lbs. I plan on hitting the gym a bit more too. This is day one. Here we go....
