Doctor's report . . .

Offically . . .

52 pounds lost to date. Seems she had me in her charts as being 4 pounds heavier than I thought I had been. Her scales and my scales are a few pounds off.

Blood pressure was 112/68. May get to reduce that medication soon.

Blood test, lab work and PSA numbes back in about a week.

My motivation to continue has been jump started . . .

Ever forward . . . ><>

Rick said...: I sing in public . . . in front of people.

I play guitar in public . . . in front of people.

But . . . "I don't dance, don't ask me . . ."

I can't get enough liability insurance to ever hope to dance . . . I am too much of a risk to injure those nearby.; June 19, 2008 at 2:36 PM

DISCLAIMER . . .

It goes without saying . . .

The announcements, updates, thoughts, opinions, ideas, stories, meditations, prayers, recommendations, and other information written anywhere on this blog, are usually my own ramblings and responses to things I have seen, heard, read, experienced or witnessed. I write out of the ever changing and conflicted struggle that exists between my head and my heart as I try to live out my life mission in the best and most productive way I can.

What I write or share in no way reflects the views of any church, denomination, political party, family member, friend, relative, writer, musical group, musician friend, artist, fishing buddy, fellow hiker, walker, other blogger, city, state, county, nation, or for that matter anybody else you possibly could ever hope to think of.

Sometimes, the words and thoughts of others are so well written, and touch me so deeply, that I am moved to share them. When and if I share the words and thoughts of others, I honestly try to give and acknowledge appropriate credit, and will do so if you bring it to my attention that I haven't.
