I've made it.
I am at the advanced age where I sometimes wonder, when an event occurs, if I will be around to "see it next year."
I remember a year ago, March Madness, I wondered if I would be here to see it .... next year .... and, here I am, getting ready for a steady batch of ........... college basketball. I already have my ESPN brackets picked, with Indiana taking it all.
I have stocked up on "mini-toasts," trail bologna, Swiss cheese, Brie Cheese. This year NO candy, NO salted goodies, NO beer, NO soda pop, nothing sugary or salted.
I have cut WAY down on sugar and salt, no soda pop, no pretzels or chips, and a lot of "skillet" dinners with meat, mushrooms and a lot of veggies, sauteed in just a little olive oil, fresh olive oil.
My wife had to go on a low salt a few months ago, so we did and cut out the sugar. Lost 15 pounds, no dizziness upon standing, much more energy, and in general, good health. And I don't miss them. When we go get a burger we order fries with NO SALT. They drop some in the basket, deep fry them, and serve them, with no salt. You don't really know how good they are till you eat them with no salt.
My advice, cut down on sugar and salt, especially if you are old ... or even young. I have been able to cut back on some pills I take also. Just a suggestion.
Let's get on with the games ................
