RE: OT: Healthy Living
Hope you feel better real soon, John. Along with everything else what that inconsiderate cyclist did really added insult to injury. It was inexcusable. I have to say, eating more veggies will likely make you feel better soon, but my feeling is that the consequential lowered meat consumption will help you just as much. That doesn't help you feel better today though.

That doesn't help you feel better today though. Hope you feel better soon! cheers, frank I've been doing the more veggies thing for about a year now. I used to eat out all the time and when I did I got plenty of veggies. I'd start at the salad end of the buffet graze my way down toward the veggies. I'd usually get full up before I even got to the meats. I seldom ate red meat anyway, relying on fish or chicken for my protein, although I do still have to have my bacon 'n eggs at least once a week. That's actually been going on for several years, because as I got older beef just seems harder to digest. I can go for months without it and not be bothered at all. But preparing most of my meals at home I didn't get as many choices. Cooking is fun sometimes, a PITA at others ... and I hate washing dishes, so for a while there I was living on sandwiches microwave meals (and *COOKIES!!*). I've been trying to follow instructions and cut back on sweets for several months. That's turning out to be like Since I gave up wine and women, I don't feel much like singing anymore. And I've kind of had the blues since finishing school. Got to find a new purpose for life I haven't found work yet. I don't have to give up sweets completely (yet), but I am having to restrict them a lot more than I want to. Taking up daily exercise again is a recent addition. I used to be fairly active until I had surgery a year ago and have been too sedentary since then. I've been meaning to become more active, but recently I noticed more and more of my trousers are too tight around the waist, so I figured now's the time to do something more than just think about it. The guy on the bicycle really was more insult than injury. My pride and my dignity suffered most. The bruises are already fading. Anyway, I appreciate all the good wishes from everyone. I was grumpy about it, but I had a place to vent, so I feel better already. Cold's almost gone too. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
