Continuing experimentation...

I've been trying some "experiments" for a couple of months now. The experiments are just for my own personal entertainment, nothing more, and therefore decidedly unscientific and not perfectly controlled. But I am enjoying myself making changes, trying new things, altering my habits, etc. For example, it's fun stepping on the scale every morning and noting the daily gain of about 1/2 pound. It's interesting buying the new (larger) belts, or keeping the tally sheet in my office of the number of flights of stairs that I climb each day, and maintaining my peak flow measurement log. A couple of people have commented on various effects they've noticed. Most observers consider the effects to be improvements in some way. We'll just have to wait and see. For now, however, I'm very dissatisfied with the apparent effects related to my change in diet, but I'm very, very pleased with the effects from some of the other 'treatments'. One in particular relates to the improvement in my asthma which seems to be associated with the burning of scented candles. This is one of several experiments in which I appear to be reacting in the exact opposite manner from that which would be expected based on medical science and conventional wisdom. I'm planning to continue the experiments for the foreseeable future just to see whether the effects are temporary flukes or bonafide long-term reactions. In fact, I'm seriously considering engaging in an experiment that might, just possibly, maybe, turn out to be somewhat dangerous, but since I seem to react opposite to most people, might generate some beneficial results in my case. It'll take several months to explore... As other bloggers say ... more later.
