Another Routine Visit to the Doctor

[billroper]

Of course, when your doctor is Dr. Bob, life isn't necessarily routine. But it was pretty normal this time, with one of (as daisy_knotwise calls them) the "baby doctors" taking the history and such.

I've been informed that I really need to lose weight. This isn't a revelation.

And the solution is simple. Eat less and exercise more.

It's the execution that's the problem.

But I have ideas.

Eat less? Exercise more? Wow, what a novel concept! *laugh* If only it were that easy...*sigh*

[billroper]

Yeah, I know. (And ditto on the *sigh*.)

I've read some reports recently that suggest that getting a good night's sleep actually helps with losing weight. I suppose I should try that too.

A Tivo would help.

A TV in front of the treadmill was the key to my last consistant bout of exercise. I must have seen six seasons of 'ER' while coated in sweat. But now that TV has gone to college with Rob, and I'm not sure I want to buy another right at the moment. Flat panel prices are (IMHO) about to hit free fall, and I'd love to replace the living room TV with something nicer....geek envy, I've got geek envy.

If you're not dead set on a plasma or LCD screen, I've really enjoyed my Samsung DLP set. They're not hang-on-the-wall thin, but they're only about 16 inches deep, so they'll fit on a normal (wide) TV stand.

And they don't have a burn-in problem, which is important given the number of things I watch in 4:3 mode.

I just watch everything in 'fat' mode. I makes the typical actor/actress look like a normal Michigander.
