I admire your willpower.

Thank goodness you caught it in time.

My dad was stunned a couple years ago when he found he had a blocked artery. He works outside a lot of the time and is an electrician, so he isn't some lazy guy.

It is just amazing that it hit him.

Needless to say, it does not bode well for me especially since I am shorter so I can't weigh as much for a healthy weight. If it hits him, it does worry me about the future. I am only 20 now, but that means in another 15 years, I will be at risk. It is scary stuff and I better start living right soon to form the good habits.

Well actually will power had nothing to do with it. It was more like I stopped hitting myself over the head with a hammer. I have to admit that I like this Mexican restaurant and they have some great Chicken Fajita Nachos. I just eat the the chicken and dab it in the Gaucomoli[sp] and the lettuce avoiding the cheese and a lot of the chips. It's great.

The doctor called and my cholestral is supposed to be 110. I may have heard them wrong. That sounds too low and healthy.

I'm retired so this is my new hobby. I said I was going to do everything I can so I can get ten more good years. I'm 52.

By the way, I have been going to the dentist for the last year and my gums were receeding. Gum disease is also connected to heart disease. There is an over the counter drug called L-Lysine. The Linus Pauling Foundation[do a search] thinks it solves hardening of the arteries. I mentioned it to my son's girl friend and her family uses it for cold sores. HMMMM?
