A new me??

Last week I went to the doctor for a check up and had blood work done. I got the results back and found out that my cholesterol is a little on the high side. Needless to say I have to change my diet and, gulp, exercise.

I started off by going for a ride on my bike that I haven’t touched in over a year. I guess it’s true that you never forget how to ride a bike. Last night, my wife, daughter and I went for a walk. It wasn’t bad. I haven’t gone for a walk in a long time. We didn’t go that far though. Baby steps, right? I guess I should start playing more golf. Does that count as exercise? ;-)

I have to admit that I am kinda glad the summer is (unofficially) over. I spend a lot of time by the pool just sitting around eating and drinking and not getting any exercise, except for the occasional swim. I better really start watching what I eat because Thanksgiving and the Christmas season are just around the corner and I love to eat…which is what put me in the position I am in. Oh boy, I guess this exercise and healthier eating thing is going to be on going…..
