Just a quick update today, and sorry no pictures :)
My liver doctor called me this afternoon and told me the results of my biopsy. Basically I have a fatty liver and I need to eat better and exercise more....don't we all? I also might have a very early stage of diabetes, but that is not definite. I have a Glucose test scheduled for Wed of next week, so maybe by Thurs I will know the results of that. After that my doctor is going to give me a kick in the pants to get me eating right and being more active. He said most likely I will be on a sudo South Beach Diet for 6 months and test me again. So hopefully by then it will be better and I will be doing this stuff like second nature and stick with it.
All in all it is not bad, and can be fixed with some lifestyle changes. I have done it before and I know it is hard work, but Heather will doing all this with me, so at least I will have a partner :)
That is all for know.

Hey buddy, that little one needs you, so "step away from the nachos!", and grab the apple. I know you can do it. Talk with you soon.

That's where I was 2 years ago. Let me tell you--when you walk away from the carbs and sugar, which is part of the South Beach lifestyle--you will be AMAZED at the energy you have. Not to mention the waistline diminishing! I have several co-workers who are strictly "South Beachers" and they say the food is great! : ) Yeah!
