Just picked up some cholesterol meds today. I am depressed that I cannot control my bad cholesterol with diet and exercise. I do not like to be on meds. Especially these meds. It is another thing that I have no control over and makes me feel weak. I got to keep thinking that taking these meds is actually better for me.
A month from now I get another blood test to see if this small amt (10 mg) will bring it down to managable levels.
UGH!!!
Organization of my life (wife, kids, exercise, work, family, friends, health, etc..) should become easier if I keep myself writing about it. 2010 will be a good start, as I will be 37 y/o this year. It sure is about time I start to get myself prepared for the second half of my life. I let things too easily fly by the first half. Below is a picture of me Aug 2, 2009 during the Rock-n-Roll Chicago Half Marathon.

Hey Troy ~ Didn't know you had a blog! Very interesting read : ) I hope 2010 is a wonderful year for all of us.
ReplyDeleteSome running inspiration... my friend Petra (one of my bridesmaids) was always a "walker" when I would put together various 10k/5k/3k teams. She ALWAYS walked. Then she got bit by the running bug and did her 1st half marathon in 2006 (day after my wedding). Since then... she completed the Madison Ironman in 2008 and just competed in the World Championship Half-Ironman down in Florida this past November. So I just want to tell you (not sure what your running goals are) but the SKY IS THE LIMIT : )
Hope to see you all soon.
Nik
Tricky Nikki... in case you're wondering
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricky! I figured it was you. Invite me over to your blog too...
