(good looking sodium numbers for you in the Fri/Sat/Sun posts)

Mwah - thank you. As you know, it is tough when you go out to eat.

'Sfunny, the blood pressure is great (it's really low, and the doc did an EKG this year and found I had something in the heart rhythm that explained it, some slight kink in the plumbing, I dunno; she said it was essentially harmless), so I could pour on salt like nobody's business, but for the whole water retention thing.

Yup. I'm much the same. Low blood pressure, salt's not a problem ... except for the fluid retention issue.


I lerve salty things. It is a battle. Mrs. Dash doesn't cut it all the time.

Salt just can't be duplicated, it seems. I do watch cooking with it. RP is fine but the family has a history of pressure issues so I don't want to get him used to a lotta salt and then one day have to take it all away.

Overall difference: down 137.4 lbs.

My wife treated me and our younger son to Black Angus for father's day lunch. I ate part of the steak, and brought home the ribs and shrimp to eat later. I had the ribs last night for dinner, so I still have the shrimp and part of the steak for today's meal.

It sure reads like something needs to be shaken up. Annoyed is such a polite way of putting how you must feel about the process right now. All of those bags of salad and ... stuck ...

I finally went down last week and set myself up at the monitoring machine here. I have officially entered the slow and steady and serious food monitoring process again.

How I gained 25 pounds without changing clothes size is puzzling me. I'm still wearing the same pants as before, even got into a dress that didn't fit a couple of years ago. In any case, ready steady eddie here we go again.

Hmmm I wonder if you've gotten more muscular. More belly dancing, perhaps?

Here, I suspect at some point I am going to have to change the fitness somehow. Helfino what, though. I'm not exactly inspired and I'm not exactly made of money these days if I try something and don't like it. Harrumph.

I'm definitely more muscular. Out-shovelled the young lads at a recent tree-planting event. But still, 25 pounds that I didn't notice?

Fitness alternatives don't have to be costly. I'm a big fan of using community centres and then here's a whacky idea ... a neighbour of mine recently retired, obviously not much spare cash ... she's getting her exercise by volunteering at a centre for senior seniors - she leads their exercise routines a couple of times a week and gets access to some of the equipment for free. whoodathunkit.

(any neighbourhood dogs you could walk? for exercise and $)

another neighbour, semi-retired is a fitness leader at mmmmmmm Curves (there is one every few blocks it seems - they like leaders who need to exercise v Jane Fonda types)
