I Guess I Am a Healthy Guy:
Going by this article on Fox News, hey, I am scoring ok.  Pink nails, sufficient vital bodily fluids, good resting heart rate, elastic skin and proper colored, and smelling, urine.

That last sign reminded me of my bad old type 2 diabetes days.  I would notice then that my urine did have a slightly sweet smell.  Okay, I know, it's a bit off putting discussing the smell of someone's urine, but it was a sign that I had a problem and I didn't now it that it was a sign that I had problem.  Message sent, received and not understood.

The smell was caused by excess glucose being excreted.  My body was attempting to get rid of the excess, the hard way, through the kidneys.  Whatever abuse I put those two guys through,  I can only hope there is no issues to come from my past stupidity.

Big problems for guys

First, the numbers for a Monday Moanin' (A tip of topper for the Monday Moanin' line goes to Bob Talbert.  It's amazing how little things just stick in my head.  That was the line he used for his Monday column in the Detroit Free Press for decades.) 
  • Fasting Blood Glucose:  105 mg/dl.  Yippee!
  • Weight:  188 lbs.  Miserably the same.
  • Exercise:  45 minute ride with some seat trouble.  Hey, it's a Monday Moanin', right?
  • Mood:  8.0.  It's Christmas time and I still have a job.  
Menu:
  • Breakfast:  Grapefruit, grapes and oatmeal with craisins. 
  • Lunch: Salmon Salad
  • Dinner:  Leftover tofu lasagna and broccoli
  • Snacks: Pretzels
