Hello, MICHAEL.

Replying to a message of MICHAEL LOO to SEAN DENNIS:

 ML> I would be way over that, except I've refused to refill some
 ML> of the prescription stuff (Lipitor, for example, which is off
 ML> plan, and for which one of the doctors told me to substitute
 ML> niacin - off the record, of course).

My problem is that when I'm sick, they give me all this extra medication that I
can go pay $3 at my local Walgreens for instead of $8.  I need to just say no
to their extra stuff and just get what I need.

 ML> I talked to a physiologist once who said that for best
 ML> results you shouldn't exercise the same systems each day,
 ML> but rather do each set of exercises something like 3x a
 ML> week. It sounds from your situation, though, that you
 ML> should probably emphasize the cardio part, if you can
 ML> take it.

Yep.  My personal trainer friend said the same thing.  He said alternate
between the free weights and cardio, but that I should just work out 3-4 times
a week.  I know from my experience in the military that lots of cardio is good
for you. <G>

 ML> Well, sounds as though getting into salads is a good idea.

It is.  A recent study said you can eat up to 25% less at a meal if you have a
salad.  So now I'm hunting for the best salad bar in town.  Ruby Tuesday's has
a good one, but at $8 a pop, kinda spendy on my budget.

 ML> I seem to recall that back in '05 this one said "Ryan's
 ML> Steakhouse"; now it says "Ryan's" in big letters with
 ML> "steaks, seafood, buffet" underneath.

I double-checked last night when passing the Ryan's here.  It says "Steakhouse
and Buffet" on there.  I didn't see a single person order one of their steaks
when I went there the last time.  I prefer their buffet over Golden Corral's
though.  More choices of food.

 ML> I find that after a week in the land o' chains, I gained a
 ML> pound. Part of the less-than-expected weight gain owed to my
 ML> not being able to sleep well, and part of it was because of my
 ML> being careful about the carbs.

I really need to be careful of the carbs, which in diabetics is a big thing
since the body metabolizes those into sugar.  That's part of my problem now. 
I'm cutting down on how much I eat and controlling more when I eat, which
helps.
