Bad Night

Okay, I went to the county fair to hear our church choir sing. Good stuff. We do this every year and every year my wife and I, and any of our children who are with us, eat a funnel cake. So I eat half a funnel cake a year. I ate a light dinner in preparation for the funnel cake. My wife, my son, and I sat down at a picknic table to eat these pastry delights. I only ate half--half of my wife's and half of my son's. {I know, two halves equal a whole.}

Then my son talked me into going on the G-Force ride. It's just a big round chamber that spins around and centrifugal force is rather significant. I hate that ride, but to appease my 13-y.o. son I went on the ride. It made me feel queasy, and that feeling just wouldn't go away. At about 2 a.m. I was still awake, and finally I threw-up. Only afterward did I feel better. But my regurgitation was so violent that it has hurt my throat and now I'm hoarse and tired.

I don't know how people purge to lose weight. I just couldn't do that. However, my experience last night has done two things. First, I don't think I'll ever eat another funnel cake. Second, I will never go on that ride again. I remember going on that ride 30 years ago on our senior trip to Ocean City, MD. It made me queasy then, it makes me sick now. No more G-Force.

So I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 249.5 and my bp was 119/79 I've started taking cinnamon pills along with fish oil tablets. Cinnamon supposedly helps the blood pressure and fish oil helps bring down cholesterol levels. We'll see.
