I Did It

So I met every goal that the insurance company so kindly set for me.

Blood Sugar, BMI, Weight, Blood Pressure...all good.

And. I kicked Cholesterol's ass.

Little Kids Are Loud

So the family came over tonight and I still can't hear. My ears are ringing. Seriously.

The screaming is insane and I'm pretty sure they were using their inside voices.

My kids are awesome. My kids are old and quiet.

Meat and other things I'm not eating anymore

So Nick and I have been trying to eat healthier and exercise more. I know, it seems like everyone is but our motivation is purely money.

We pay an ungodly amount of money for our health insurance (I know, everyone does) but we can earn points to get us discounts on our premiums for next year. This means it's all a numbers game.

BMI, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, and Cholesterol.

BMI - check

Blood Pressure - check

Blood Sugar - check

Cholesterol - Damn near impossible. Thanks Dad for passing that one on to me (oh, and the bags under my eyes)

So I'm off meat. I'm off refined sugar. I'm off flour. I'm off processed foods. Basically if it tastes really good and is really bad for you I'm not eating it.

My physical is on Monday and no matter what my numbers are I think I'll keep going for at least a year to see if it really can make a big difference.

A year is a long time.

We'll see.

I hate Minnesota

So I looked outside when I woke up and it's the same as every other day. Dirty gray ground. Dirty gray sky. No sun...just gray.

I really, really hate this place.
