On The Road Again

Before I forget it, here's my quote of the day. It's from Richard Simmons: "A good plan leads to a small can." Well, here I am again. Completely out of shape and 278 lbs. Actually, I have an excuse this time. The blood pressure medication I was on for over 2 years was Tenormin, a beta blocker, and it completely sapped all my energy. I had a physical this past Monday, and the doctor took me off the Tenormin and put me on Lotrel. What an amazing difference. I feel like I'm 35 again instead of 56, or 96 like I was feeling like. I just got back from a jog and I ran a 12 minute mile. For me that's olympic speed. So I shouldn't say I'm not in shape. My endurance is still there once the medication got out of my system. I've been eating mostly salads and lean protein since Monday. My resolve is to eat right and exercise as often as I can. I already feel better and I know if I keep it up I'll look better as well. Awesome!
