Get healthy...


Here's a pic of my husband setting a mighty fine example for our children... climbing on top of the very high playground equipment. Of course, they think he is "Awesome" for stuff like this, so I try to teach a quick safety lesson and then shut up about it!

So, today's blog is all about Daddy.


The love of my life now not only has high cholesterol, but also high blood pressure... I'm a little weirded out about it. Jason was prescribed medicine for his cholesterol a couple years ago and refused to take it. He said he didn't need it. Now that he's a couple months away from the big 3-0, he's been thinking more about it, I guess. After surprisingly little probing from me, he agreed to go to the dr if I made the appointment for him. So, he went today and we're still waiting on the results from the blood test, but we're pretty sure it will still be high. A year ago, it was higher than it was the year before... but the high blood pressure is new. So, hopefully he won't be so hard-headed and will try a little harder to eat right and take better care of himself. It's the truth that he is one of the busiest people I know, and on the go and on the road constantly, so eating right is not an easy feat. I need to try to do a better job helping him too.... I need to pack healthier lunches and make healthier meals. And I need to quit asking him to take me out to eat so much too! When he knows I'm tired and don't feel like cooking, all I have to do is ask, and he will do anything. Even if it means eating pizza that is slowly sending him to his grave... And as much as I love him for that, I'm vowing to work harder to take care of my man. I can't put it into words, but I simply don't know what I would do without him. He's the "cheese to my crackers" and the "peanut butter to my jelly". :-)
