Wed 4/24/13 EARLY swim. Wow. Really early.

I had an annual internist exam at 8am on Wednesday, so I went to swim before that.  I had to fast from midnight until my appointment, so that was a bit challenging starting out the morning.

I got on the bus to the gym in the Gold Coast around 5:15am and started swimming by 6am.  I swam for an hour and almost, almost finished the workout, but I had to shower, dry my hair and get to Northwestern in Streeterville by 8am.  At least it was an easy swim...

I had my annual check up with Dr. Grauer, who unfortunately approved this stupid low carb diet that Coach McGee put me on for the next 6 weeks.  I was really hoping he would say it was a bad idea.  Instead he told me to "eat like a Greek" (which coincidentally made me think that all the Greeks are totally poor right now, so that's really a diet!) and that he'd been doing it and had lost 25lbs.  Boo Dr. Grauer.  Boo.

Then he sent me across the street for some blood tests, urine sample, and an EKG.

I'm still alive!  That's all I know so far.  Aside from the fact that he suggested that I also set up a mammogram.  Next thought?  Wow.  I'm old.
