What did you do TODAY to be healthier?

I need to work on my heart.

I have actually eaten a version of that.

(I'm gonna have to check out that site.) LOL

Went our fave Italian restaurant last night.
Told them not to bring bread. Then ordered each a glass of wine not the usual bottle.
Ordered one appetizer (grilled calamari) and ate it real slow.
Then ordered another appetizer (assorted grilled veggies) and ate that real slow too.
Drank a lot of water and managed to make the wine last. And just weren't hungry for more.
We'll try that today at lunch at our favorite Thai place.
I think the secret is to eat and drink slowly and not overestimate how hungry you are.

Now oly, you know that's like serving cocktails at an AA meeting.
Shame on you!

Sorry

I'm not gonna be telling you that. It would fall on deaf ears.

Not too long, actually old boy!

Aparently not very long. It only took me 15 seconds to ban him and remove all of his posts.

Wow! A "Double Ban!" We both banned him at the same time!

Just a bored kid that would be better served being out in the woods instead of playing on his x-box.

Well i had a very small cardiac event 2 weeks ago while in a heated talk with a contractor, my BP went through the roof and i had some chest pain that radiated up into my lower left jaw. Sooo... my doc is running a full blood work up and i had a stress test today. hopefully it will all show nothing but good things.
I recently started on an ace blocker and have changed my diet completly. No more then 1 gram of salt per day. I love salt. No canned foods, no boxed foods. a lot of ftruits and vegies. No pizza, no subs, no wings. the last one is the worst to go without.
I started the meds and diet changes about 2 months earlier but things arnt getting better, so far! I will do everything and anything it takes to not end up like my farther. Have a stroke and die a slow drawn out death. hes still living that nightmare, after 7 years.
And i should have gone to the Er when it happened but i had to get the job i was doing done. if that ever happens again i dont care whats going on i WILL go to the ER. I guess i was in denile that it could really be happening to me. That it was really serious. Well it's as serious as a heart attack or a stroke!

[huntermj]

WOW Thats the longest post i have ever made, LOL.
I don't want it to sound so bad. I am activly doing some very postive things to help my health. And i am confident that i will get this turned around.

Nothing is worth getting that angry over. 100 years from now, it won't matter. Just remember, that contractor can't make you mad. You can only allow yourself to get mad. Your emotions are yours. You CAN control them.

I hope that your health does get better and that was just a gentle nudge by your guardian angel. A few positive changes now might avoid the the big one, Ethyl. Good luck!! We'd like you to stick around and bug us for a while longer.

You are doing a lot hmj and I am really impressed with your commitment! It's bound to produce results, I have no doubt.

If you're open to it, I'd like to suggest something that I found useful.
Controlled breathing exercises especially when you feel like you're getting wound up. It's a way to calm down before it escalates into something more serious. It helped me sleep at night and distracted me from wanting to strangle someone in a meeting. It's just another tool in the belt, of sorts.

[huntermj]

Thank you. And today i did find a commen ground with the contractor and came to a resolution to the situation. But his saying i installed those doors incorrectly when it was wind damage really chaffed my butt. He has just been trying to get out of paying for the change orders that he asked for! This company is known for pulling this bull.
I told him in the planing phase not to install 175 pound 8' doors on the top of a mountain!
Anyway, im not good at letting go of insults like this. Working on it.

[crashdive123]

Just take care of yourself Huntermj.
