Okay this will crack you guys up.

 

First the good news…. William and I went in for our physicals yesterday. William and I we consider each other our best buddies in the world. We do every thing to together… yup everything. So when it comes to getting our blood drawn and getting physicals we insist on holding each others hand and being in the same small examining room. But the nurse and doc kept trying to break us up because we wouldn’t stop cracking jokes about each other bodies and were laughing to much to get any thing done. William got his exam first no problems and they told us what the results were right then. Then came my turn… well I am very competitive person so my results have to be better then his. First came our heart tests. With his EKG no problems. My EKG they could not get the darn machine to work right. Get this they said some of the leads weren’t registering even though they moved them around a few times. So William yells out it’s because she doesn’t have a heart errrr… But the doc called the EKG test a draw. Then the hearing test I thought for sure William was Deaf and Dumb because every time I yell for him he never answers me no matter where he is in the house. But both our hearing test were in the normal rang so I asked the doc… how could that be the dude never answers me when I call him? The docs reply was that most men can not hear the high pitch sounds of a woman’s voice! Yeah right? Do you girls believe that?  I think guys have a selective hearing problem then if that’s true…For example if I ask my husband “Hey honey ya want another beer? He hears that question every time I ask it! Ha ha ha! Are your guys like that?

 

Then the doc told us our blood test results. Now girls William and I been on a low Carb high protein eat all the fatty  meat on earth diet to loose weight  for the past 4 months. Every morning for breakfast we both have lots of eggs and bacon or ham. But we eat no bread no fruit no sweets no potatoes no starches of any kind and no Milk and no cereal. Mostly we eat meat of all kinds and fish and a dash of veggies. Now being on a high fat protein diet like this you would think we would both have on foot in the grave ha?  I am 59 and William is 62 so a diet like this should give us a heart attack right girls? WRONG! Both our cholesterol counts were around 100 and both of our good cholesterol levels were way above normal and our bad cholesterol went way down. I am not lying girls… we were both in shock. Then we told our doctor about us being on a low carb diet and he almost fell off his chair. Our blood tests result when compared to the last had significantly improved!!! And on top of that we both drink and our liver counts were normal also. Now is this weird or what. I thought for sure both our livers were shot but they are perfectly normal.

 

With me I have been feeling better lately except for my asthma acting up more during the fires and the winds we have to deal with here in Ca. But other then that I feel the best I have ever felt in 20 years. I have been walking a little every day when the air is clean but other then that I get no exercise. So isn’t this the best news?

 

Oh I almost forgot here in California they are trying to legalize Marijuana so William being the funny person he is he asked if he could have some for his aching back… he was kidding of course …. But the nurse was in shock that he asked and she said  “ I can’t  believe that someone in Irvine has asked for Medical Marijuana?”  Like that was the worst sin you could make a joke about the subject we are heavily debating on now in my state… Oh boy you should of seen her face it was priceless.  I thought she was going to knock William upside the head or call the cops… Boy people can not see the humor in any thing any more especially where I live….  You see we live in the safest city in the U.S. Yup where I live it is suppose  to be the best place to raise kids and on top of that we are suppose to be stuck up snobs and very law  bidding citizens  and very conservative people who’s poo poo doesn’t stink in this city… ha ha ha! And William had the nerve to ask such and indecent question …. Ha ha ha! Look out now we are going to wake up with all sort of stupid stuff written all over our house because of his stupid joke…. Errrr…. People!  

 

Bottom line here dear buddy ole friends…. I am going to live a long happy life and will be bugging the heck out of you girls for a long time to come. So who wants to celebrate my new beginnings with me?

 

Aloha,

Lei

Lei, great news for both you and William. When I cut carbs out my levels went down as well. Have to admit it didn't last long as I am a carb-a-holic. Lately I have been trying to cut back once again...we'll see for how long:) Cutting out carbs also lessens the load on the liver sohave one on me:)
Hugs, Bernie

Aloha my dear buddy Bernie!

So you went on low carb diet to and had the same results?  I thought for sure our levels would go through the roof because the diet really is protein and fats.  I am shocked that our blood tests came out better then they ever been... whatz up with that ... we should be dead doing this to our body. Now cutting out all sweets was and still is a killer for me... but my health was at stake being at the weight I was. I am still not at the weight I should be but I am feeling so much better then where I was.  So being on a low carb diet is saving my liver? Great! then dear buddy I will have a long island ice tea for ya! ha ha ha!

I feel so good right now ... that living life right now is more then  fun!

Aloha,

Lei

Congrats on those results! Funny stuff about the medical Marijuana-don't knowanything about that but thought it was funny you shocked the poor nurse. .. my 25 years in So. CA ..there I consider "home"  (claremont). I miss my sailboat at Dana Point! Nice to see you back.
