I have doctor's orders to walk thirty minutes a day, six days a week. I will comply. The last two days, I walked around this neighborhood. Walking is fun, I just have to get started again.
I also need to eat food that will lower my cholesterol. Most or all of the Marvins have high cholesterol, even the ones that eat super healthy foods and keep physically active. Now it's my turn to be diagnosed with this artery plugging nemesis. One out of every two people die of a heart attack or stroke. I want to lessen my odds. That's why I'll try to follow doctor's orders and watch my diet and exercise. My Dad's doctor gave him the book, "Good Fat, Bad Fat." I've already started reading it.
Every morning, I eat oatmeal for breakfast. I eat it with low fat milk. So, breakfast isn't the culprit. I don't eat anything too terrible for lunch or dinner. I hardly ever eat fast food. It's just
a little of this, and a little of that that I need to avoid. And, I need to add more fruits and vegetables, beans and grains, and whatever else I read about in the "Good Fat, Bad Fat" book. It's sometimes tricky to know what's best to eat. What I read today, will be contradicted by what I read tomorrow. Dietitians can sound convincing, no matter their beliefs. Even the experts have difficulty sorting out the truth.
On to a different topic. I'm testing the
ScribeFire Firefox extension. It's a blog editor that allows you to update your blog through Firefox. You can drag and drop formatted text from the web into your blog. You can post entries, take notes, upload images, set timestamps, and more. It works with Blogger, Wordpress, Xanga, LiveJournal, Windows Live Spaces, Tumblr, MySpace, Movable Type, and others. I just want to see if this will post o.k. I'll test some of these other features, later on.
I posted this as a draft. ScribeFire worked as it was supposed to. I'm glad. The computer I'm using doesn't have any other blog editor. I usually just use the editor that comes with Xanga. My family's computer has Windows Live Writer, which is impressive software. I can't download it onto this computer, which is a MacBook.
