Now you may think I’m crazy…

But according to this I should be maintaining my sanity just fine thank you very much.  (And no, being a neo-con is not a mental illness!)

Individuals at extremely high risk of developing psychosis appear less likely to develop psychotic disorders following a 12-week course of fish oil capsules containing long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

“Early treatment in schizophrenia and other psychoses has been linked to better outcomes,” the authors write as background information in the article. “Given that subclinical psychotic symptoms may predict psychotic disorder and psychosis proneness in a population may be related to the rate of psychotic disorder, intervention in at-risk individuals holds the promise of even better outcomes, with the potential to prevent full-blown psychotic disorders.”

I am pleased to report that fish oil is part of my daily regimen.

My Grandma Pernie would be so proud…

And I’m doing this 5 days a week…

Don’t mock my black socks, I do this after work and don’t change into white ones.  It wouldn’t be energy-efficient to dirty two pair.  I mean, we all have to worship at the alter of do our part for Global Warming (praise be to thy name).

And this morning I’m going to the doctor for a physical examination.  Want to make sure it’s not too late.  I mean, if I already got the cancer or some other fatal illness (well, other than aging) I sure as hell don’t want to spend any of my remaining time on an f’n treadmill!

But I am feeling pretty good physically these days.  If I am able to cut the belly down to size, I should be looking mighty fine as well.

(oh, here’s a useful clue for you: if the post is tagged “me, me, me” you can expect this kind of self-absorbed crap.  Sorry, I should have warned you up top).

  1. Most impressive indeed…I need to haul the treadmill in front of the computer to watch something.

    I’m 1/3 of the way to my total loss goal.

  2. I’m using a pedometer daily with a goal of 10K steps. It seems that 10K steps is almost 5 miles. Not as easy as it sounds. Try it for a change.

  3. I’m shoveling snow. It does amazing things for the abs, thighs and arms. It also burns enough calories to allow me to eat an entire pumpkin pie without guilt.
