I am going to have to make a shopping list, per Doc's orders. She mentioned things like eating vegetables and fruit..exercise, and no Bad Carbs. I have never met a carb I didn't like.

I think Tigger will be okay without Daddy home to watch her sleep. so, off to get ready for work.

Poor Tigger...I hope she feels better soon. That's gotta' hurt. I have never brushed my kitty's teeth ...does that make me a bad cat mom? Never even crossed my mind...

I hear you on the healthy stuff Tommi...when I got diagnosed with diabetes, and all the high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides stuff as well...I had to go off the soda and fast food habit, and really increase the fruits and veggies and whole grains...plus I try to go for a walk every day. It's made a great difference in my overall health and does become a habit. The transition is tough though....

One thing that helped me was to find some healthy things that I love and feel like treats....like fresh berries and pineapple...and indulge myself with those instead. It isn't the same, I know...but it helps.

Oh...and Banshee says meow and sends a nose rub to Tigger
