So back in January I had my first physical in 20 years. Wasn't that much of a physical - bp, heart rate, breathing, talking about my history. Finally went last week and had my blood drawn (yeah I know...) and talked with the doc friday.

Apparently I'm fat and bordering on diabetes. The fat part I knew, the diabetes part I know I have a family history but that is all.

Good news is the doc thinks if I drop some weight, watch what I eat, I will "be fine".

So... had what I hope is my last cigarrette last night, and I'll be hitting the college gym at lunch to do 20-30 minutes on a stationary bike.

Doc agrees with my plan, says that should do it but we'll re-do blood work in 2 months and see where I stand. May need some changes to diet, but I've started those - no sugar in the coffee, no late night ice cream, cookies, etc. Will change lunch from 12" subway sub to a salad (same fixings, just no bread to cut the carbs).
