Day 26,27 - 1 Good 1 Weird - Thurs,Fri 10-22,23-09

Thursday
Today was pretty awesome once again I felt great!
I went to my awesome Doctor Rebecca today (have I mentioned she is the best Dr. ever) for my bi-monthly shot....

Sidebar: A humiliating personal confession
I have been getting a testosterone shot every two weeks for the last 8 months or so - I originally went in because I was so tired all the time and just didn't have all the pieces of my youth working as God intended. My testosterone level was like 120 when it should have been somewhere around 600 or 800 - they have a bizarre chart that put my numbers between a female Bichon puppy and Taylor Swift - I mean who make these things that's just not right. On a serious note if you are a man with low energy and gaining weight it may very well be low testosterone or Project Runway - get it checked.

....I called in and changed my appointment to a check up so I could keep on top of the Gandhi thing and it was about time to check under the hood and kick the old tires. I was cheerfully greeted by super nurse Cheryl and she immediately asked me if I was still fasting, I affirmed I was and she was blown away that I was still going and still alive. Rebecca came in and was very happy to see me looking good and that my blood sugars and blood pressure was doing so well and with out any meds. She was still hesitant on the whole fasting thing but said I sure seemed to be doing well and losing a lot of weight. She then went to work on checking me over and said everything looked great and ordered some blood work and the trusty urine sample. As she was looking through my records she mentioned that it was time for my prostrate exam and the coughing hernia test thing that guys get, if I was up to it. This is about the time I wished I had one of those old man doctors that just don't give a crap and not a concerned, thorough and hot young female doctor. I won't get into the details from here but it was about the most hilarious thing I have been through in many years. To me this was a watershed moment of getting old - like one of those old guys in the gym that just doesn't care about being naked anymore - it was ridiculous standing with your pants down discussing your dangily bits....hilarious!

The rest of the day was cool got back to the Y for a class and got to run my mile. The evening was great because I of course got to play soccer with my Thursday team Insario (Jill & Christie). We played against Yo Yo Ma, they are a great bunch of super talented players - they make it so fun you don't really mind that they just kicked the crap out of you. Ended the night after work at home with my lovely wife and Project Runway on the DVR - lying in bed I had to smile on what a ridiculous wonderful day it was!

Friday
Today was a really weird day, I went to the Y in the morning for step and Yoga classes and really struggled through both as they went on I felt worse and worse. I ended up leaving early and headed home and went right to bed and slept for about 3 hours when I woke up I started to fell better but it took several hours to get there. I am not sure if it was a detox thing or one of my disease carrying kids gave me something, but I really felt like crap. By the evening I was feeling good again and went to work with my wife and we made the world a little cleaner place.
Ended being a OK day in the end but it was a weird one - I'm sure Gandhi had his days too.

Talk to you soon!
Joe
Peace!
