This blog is now going to be my vision board. It will contain information about diet and exercise along with cartoons and other things that I chose to post here as I go along this journey.

There are some recipes on this page but most of them can be found under the healthy recipe tab on my main page.

Week Two - Day Two - Obesity

Did not see Dr. Scott today, but then I knew I wouldn't see him every visit.  The routine is the same.  Cold Laser on the feet, soak the feet, exercise with oxygen therapy, back decompression, roller bed and total body vibration.  Dr Scott will work with my diet when the rest of my test results are in.  I do know my lower back is starting to feel better.  I am not sure if I am feeling much better yet, but I know it will take some time.    I need to get a little exercise along the way, too.  With the swimming pool down, I need to start walking at the Mall.  I need to get Vick to walk with me.  Hopefully in the next few days we will be doing that.

Talked with Cath today and she is concerned about Shawn.  I told her that she can't force him into anything, it has to come from within.  I explained to her mine came with the news a couple of weeks ago that if I don't change, I don't have to many more years left in this life.  I told her as I learn I will do all I can to help her husband.

Tonight, Vickie and I were watching her favorite show "19 Kids and Counting" and it was about the father and one son needing to loss weight and get in shape.  Vick made the comment that her first thought about having me do this program by Dr. Scott was not about losing weight but saving my life.  I think she is going to be a hard task master with this because she says she wants to keep me around for awhile longer.  She is always mentioning about all the things she will have to do when I leave her alone and that doesn't give me a warm fuzzy.

I was listening to a program on the radio this afternoon about a study that says this is the first generation that will not out live their parents.  And the reason for this is obesity.  Here are a couple of reads on the subject:

That makes me nervous for my grandchildren.  I need to set the example by eating better and exercising.  If I don't then who will?
