I just wanna say that the very best thing about the new HDTV television set is the ability to change the volume and mute the sound.

You: On A Diet and You: The Owner’s Manual by Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz.

Since seeing an episode of You: On A Diet Saturday afternoon, I’ve been reading labels and making more healthy choices than I’ve done in quite a while - not strictly following the advice I picked up watching the show, but definitely thinking differently. It makes so much sense to me to choose foods in their close-to-the-earth state.

How cool is it that Dr. Roizen commented on Crazy Aunt Purl’s entry about her 30-minute lunchtime walks and change to healthy foods!!

My plan is to read You: On A Diet and start. Since Saturday, Bill has already voiced his support a few times toward making healthier choices with the food we eat - and since he cooks 99% of the time, this is important. Tonight, for example, he didn’t put any butter (or margarine) on the asparagus! And, he said I can leave potato chips off the shopping list since he didn’t need to eat them either.

On Sunday, I measured our waistlines around the belly button - just like on the You: On A Diet show. Bill’s waist is 33 inches around - 2 inches less (lucky guy) than the 35 inches maximum for men. Here’s a brave statement: My waist is 39 inches - 7 inches greater than the 32 inches maximum for women.
