It's (sensibly) splurge Friday! And just Friday in general, splurge or not.

Numbers for today:
  • Fasting blood glucose: 100 mg/dl.  Sweet! (or lack thereof.)
  • Weight: 188 lbs.  Sigh.
  • Exercise:  45 min. on the trainer.  It's still cold out there, wuss that I have become. 
  • Mood:  8.5.  It's Friday!
Menu:
  • Breakfast:  Leftover pizza and a banana. 
  • Lunch:  French onion soup.  Delicious, but maybe not the best choice.  The cheese on top was thick and gooey, meaning lots of fat. Well, it is spurge Friday
  • Dinner: Tony's night. Two margaritas and probably the Carne Asada Gringa. 
  • Snacks:  Pretzels.
Whole grains can help lower blood pressure: 
The Charming Mrs.SWMBO and I have been switching to whole grains as much as possible.  One good reason is that they taste better.  Whole grains add more character and flavor to the meal. We have gotten used to eating brown rice and whole wheat pasta.

Another good reason to consume for chowing down on them is whole grains can help lower blood pressure. I should also note the study involved a group like myself:  overweight guys in their 50's. That is encouraging. 

Advice for newlywed neurotics.
Lots of sex is good for your marriage.  I would think that would also go for non-neurotics, but whatever works.

Exercise and eat well and you will live longer.
Or so says this study.  I should add that well refers to the quality of the food, not necessarily the quantity.  Did they know about the Twinkie diet?  My guess is no.  I am still holding out for a Banana Flip diet.
