texas blues

In the last 3 months I've made some drastic lifestyle changes. I had gone to the witch doctor and my blood pressure was high and he wanted to put me on lisinopril. Screw that! Why take drugs and spend money when all I have to do is change my diet, drinking habits and exercise. Well yall, I cut out all the fat and wasted carbs. I began eating a diet of about 99% fruits and vegetables, quit drinking beer like a sailor on payday, started riding first the exercise bike and now my regular bike. Now my BP averages about 120/80. Down to 165 from a high of 195. I can have a glass or two each day of red wine (for the resveratrol benefits). I still eat fish now and then and even had a couple bites of mrs. blues steak last night but I don't miss the meat except for the odd cheese burger craving on occasion. Okay maybe I miss baby backs too but now I'm at a point I can have them if I want. I don't miss the beer either. A little snort of tequila never hurt nuthin'. Everything in moderation as they say. Someone mentioned I should post the pics or to quote myself...IT NEVER HAPPENED! That is absolutely dadgum correct. So...I'm puttin' up...

This is moi at about 192 last year when Sir JayT his highness visited here in the big dry ditch.

Does this shirt make by belly look big?
