Important numbers

156-My blood glucose reading this morning. Adding some exercise, as well as watching my carbs is finally working out for me now. I think I'm also getting over a hump caused by my losing my job. My blood glucose had been well over 200 and for awhile I had thought my doctor was going to put me on insulin. Now it looks as though I can keep it down.

1200- The number of this post.

Now I've gotta go for a walk.

Exercize ???

So critical! I think far to many people think they can control their health with diet, but without exercize it is futile.

Those are some good numbers Cliff.
Glad to hear the weather is clearing up enough for you to get out and moving..if for nothing else but for your mental health.

ps. don't tell anyone, but some one called the coach fat boy recently...from the sidelines to the middle of the softball field, during a game. not pretty.
But when we won the game, coach said loudly: Looks like fat boy won!
You cant take that stuff personally...as I know you didn't.

I gotta give you props, Cliff... that is not something I would have taken lightly.

Now, I'm at the library, having walked 1 mile to get here. I will soon walk an additional 2 miles to the mall, then another 2 miles plus back home where I will then, and only then, park my not-so-skinny-now rear end for the evening. :)

Oh by the way, I've gotta get back to providing weather forecasts for the entire 3 state area. As soon as I fix the USB hub on my computer, I will do exactly that at my Tri-State Weather Watch blog...

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...
