My boy
Apr 10 2008 13:14

Turned 10 last month and is now able to join me at the gym for cardio workouts only. No weightlifting... which he doesn't like since he wants to have big muscles... lol, but I do know that it is better to wait until he is older for that.

He is excited about going and I like that. I am going to get off work early today so that I can take him, and I am excited about that. He will be able to go 4 times this week, and we are all excited about that.

The doc was concerned about his weight, had him do cholesterol test, thyroid, HgA1C, and basic metabolic test I believe and it all came back fine and dandy. (I have type II diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure... though I had my labs one on the same day and everything came back fine and dandy as well, no meds for the diabetes in like 5 or 6 years... a major triumph for me)

I am just glad that the example that we are setting for the boy is helping him to make healthy choices, and that I am able to provide that example in the first place. I was on a steady decline health wise before turning my life around, and my boy is a major factor in that.

I love him.
