say cheese.

i would like to start by saying for the most part i like pictures of myself. i think the camera likes me most of the time ... so yeah, i have few complaints about pictures of myself. but this one .... well this one i don't like so much:

that's right. that's my back. i had NO IDEA! none. i went to this doctor here in town that we have been working with at work just for preventative measures. making sure i could be as healthy at 60 as i am at 27 and THIS is what we found. NICE! so we have to work through it and fix it. he says he can fix it. there are other things to fix too. all those black spots in my stomach area .... inflammation. do you know what that means? it means an anti-inflammatory diet. OH JOY!

so today i say goodbye to some things i love. so long to sugar, caffeine, flour, wheat, chocolate, bread, rice ... the list goes on and on. but at the end of it i should be feeling better and looking 10 years younger. that's what they say, but i don't want to look 17 again. those were awkward years. maybe that only applies to people over 40. i don't know.

anywho ... here goes nothin'!

p.s. yes those are my hips and although i said they look HUGE. Dr. Asa informed me that they are actually quite small. HA! i don't believe him.
