It can stop now......people around me can stop trying to one-up me in the bad health department.
Everyone please say a little prayer for my Father-in-Law. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance the other day and is still there with a horrible case of pneumonia.

His blood pressure and heart rate are high and he is having trouble breathing. Fortunately, he IS off the ventilator and breathing on his own...labored as it may be.

Ashley in particular really does not need this right now. After dealing with my situation for the last few months, she really does not deserve to worry about the other important man on her life like this.


As for me, today was a good feeling day. We started packing and boxing things up for the move next week. Unfortunately, since the house is a shambles we got food out all day. While I tried to be a good boy, I can guarantee you that my salt and fat intake was WAYYYYY too high. That is just the nature of eating out.

As you all can tell from my topics, I am still in the mindset of worrying about every day being the one where I fall off the wagon, begin eating poorly and mess up all of the hard work since Nov. 22.

Time to send Ashley to the store for some good old fashioned salt free food. Because of the move, this next week or two will present me with more need to eat out than most weeks have. So I need to make sure that every chance I get, I eat right and don't overdo the portions.

I hate being a heart attack survivor, but I do like fitting into pants I haven't worn since before Ashley & I got married. I gotta remember both of those facts next time I grab for a snack. I need to remember how much I DON'T want another heart attach so that I grab carrots instead of crackers or chips.

Thanks for reading along. Say a prayer for my father-in-law.

Good night & God bless.
