It is pouring rain but I am going to do the long route with dog tonight. I need the movement…and so does he!
Loverboy has fully recovered, thank you. At least this time. We had a long talk and I shared my observations - in a loving, supportive way 
- about his diet choices. This is a guy who talks about his digestive system a lot - to the point where I told him a few months ago that it was too much information and there was a limit to intimacy.
But he can start out the weekend telling me how milk makes him sick, he can’t drink it, etc., fill up on cheese all weekend and then pour himself a big glass of milk to “settle my stomach.” A guy who thinks riding his ATV around and around his cabin all day counts as exercise. He just is not very self-observational. He has a picture of himself in his mind and when his behaviour contradicts it (over the long term, I mean) he just does not register that.
Anyway, it was a little scarey at the hospital since with a middle-age male smoker they rule out all the really bad emergency stuff as fast as they can. The happy point is they found nothing. Now he has to act like a grown up and deal with what his body is telling him. And we all now how EASY that IS!
As far as my turn to act like a responsible healthy human being goes..had a pretty good weekend, a bit more wine than necessary and a bit less sleep than required, but otherwise good. Two days under the 1,700 mark - well under. yay me!

Sounds like he is lactose intolerant. My b/f has that and ulcerative colitis. Men and their digestive systems!
Glad he is ok

I’m happy that he’s alright. It’s good you shared your concern, I hope he heeds them. I think I was like that in a way, just totally oblivious to the bad things I was doing to my body and thinking falsely that I was doing “healthy” things and getting “excercise”.
Good for you for staying under 1700! Wine is good for you, btw! hehe.
