Day 248 of 1000

I talked to my friend and ex-business partner Ron Voorhees on the phone last night.  He is doing great.  Too great.  We always have lots of things to talk about–business, politics, sports, religion, and, best of all, he lets me brag about my kids and I love to hear about his amazingly atheletic grandkids.  Well, we got on the subject of health.  Ron has always been in better shape than me, but he told me back in February he was just not feeling so good so he decided to go on a health kick.  He has been working out hard and eating healthy foods since then–no sodas, lots of nuts, fruits, vegetables, very little read meat, lots of fish and chicken.  He does a few vitamins and he works out every day.  The upshot is that he has lost weight that he probably did not even need to lose, he feels great, and is in the best shape in years.  I have been half heartedly trying to do that myself here for about the same amount of time.  In spite of the fact that I am getting regular exercise, I am not going down because I eat like a pig (and enjoy that VERY much).  Well, I have decided I need to get back in the saddle.  I will start posting my weight again in May!
