Proper Nutrition Helps To Avoid The Pill
I’m not real big on Doctors. I mean, I really like them, but I’m not too confident in them sometimes when it comes to proper diagnosis. I have friends and family members who have all been told one thing and then given a subscription for a pill that is supposed to help them. I’m sure the doctors mean well, but with today’s fast paced society, and with a doctors jam packed schedule, I feel they sometimes miss a proper diagnosis and prescribing a pill is the outcome.
Two weeks ago, I had a physical. The doctor told me I need to lower my cholesterol and fat intake. He said, do it, get tested again in six months, and if I’m better then great, but if not, he’ll give me a pill.
That’s all fine and dandy, I wouldn’t really heed that warning except for try to eat better. However, about 3 years ago, I was told the same thing from a different doctor. That’s not good news. What’s even more shocking to me is that after 3 years, I’ve apparently shown myself that I’m not willing to change in this area.
This is where Lorra comes in. Lorra does most of the meal preparations around our home. Occasionally, I’ll cook a very cheesy egg omlet wrapped inside a grilled tortilla and smother it with chili. (See where it’s coming from). Or sometimes I’ll cook some burgers on the grill outside. But for the most part, Lorra takes care of us throughout each week.
Lorra has been very consistent in her workouts in the gym. She has made some friends there and is on a workout schedule. She’s even bringing home Muscle Milk and got us some other supplements. She’s living the life that I’ve been wanting to live for so long now, yet, I’m not taking the time to do it myself. I’m excited that she has kicked in with a spark on this. She has had four children and even though she’s always look great to me after having each child, she is now looking even more fantastic. What’s important here is that she is feeling fantastic. We knew we were going to have more children and in Lorra’s mind, she was always fighting the battle of a changing body due to pregnancies. It was difficult for her to get excited about working out because her body was always so far out of balance. Lorra has decided that we are stopping here with our 4th child - and I’m following her lead. 
Back to the topic…
Not only has Lorra developed a great workout routine, she has also been studying nutrition. Now we’re eating healthier. With the news from my second doctor about lowering my cholesterol and fat intake, I’m confident in getting the added support from my wife that I can change my diet to hopefully get me off the "pill" radar.
In addition… I’m happy to introduce Lorra to you. She has taken interest in this site and will be sharing her ideas with us now too.
