Never had a heart attack; my ticker and arteries are in great shape; I get
'em checked out every three months.

I feel good about how to change from salt to other items as long as I know I
can. 
I took lemon pepper adding it to a chop on one side, and I couldn't tell
what the other seasoning is that I put on the other side. 
I don't know if I can grill today or not. 
It is raining pretty hard. 
I love to grill, one of my favorite things. 
I know eating turkey and chicken as I do is in my favor. 
We don't eat allot of stakes or anything like that. 
Last week I did a hamburger on a grill adding an onion ring with it. 
Didn't want company that night loll. 
Love vegetables been doing that for awhile as well. 
I want to exercise with a plan that I can take back home and try to do the
same thing. 
For me trying to find foods with no salt is harder than it is to be a
diabetic. 
I know all of this will pull together. 
Mike, have you had a heart attack, how did you build yourself up again.
