Day 703

I feel good the day after running more than I have in a while.  I expected to feel fine but I'm still leery of the whole running thing. 
So after work it was back to the gym and lifting some weights.  Working the upper body is always a good idea and of course I figure I'm going to one day get rid of the man-boobs.  Heh.

Breakfast: Frittata and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt

Lunch: Roast beef/pastrami wrap with guacamole, lettuce, cheese, roasted peppers, and tomato.  Also a single bag serving of chips.

Dinner: I think I was bit more hungry than normal as the stir fry broccoli and cauliflower plus the protein drink didn't seem to satisfy.  So threw in the last of the banana bread.

So had my first visit with the new doctor who will be overseeing my life now.  He pretty much gave me a not quite rosy clean bill of health.  I guess I do have some high blood pressure to deal with but I'm hoping the continued workouts will help that.  He seemed to be a straight shooter and didn't try to force anything on me.  As a matter of fact he talked me out of a notion I'd had for a while, and he didn't have to do that.  It looks like we'll be taking a look at possible sleep apnea but it's going to be a more intelligent approach.  Which appeals to me.  So I'm quite happy with this doctor and his bed side manner.  At this point we haven't discussed any of my working out but that's coming as I recover from the hernia surgery.
