My results for blood sugar and lipids just came back. The numbers were not good at all but my blood pressure is fine and an EKG showed normal. I've got 3 months to reign this in before my next tests.
It looks like red meat, dessert and breakfasts of 1/2 a dozen eggs with a pound of bacon are now things of the past. My g/f is really diggin' her time in 'I told you so' heaven. It's not like I ever said eating 32 ounces of beef at a clip was good for you.
I feel your pain, Alex.
I have high BP. It's hereditary though and I have to take medication for it. I thought at first if I lost some weight, watched what I eat and exercised it would get better. So I did all that and lost 20 pounds (down to 175lbs @ 5'11") and no change.
Well then I got stupid and stopped and got up to 200 pounds. So now I'm exercising again. I can't let my health go or it
will cause a problem the older I get. So I ride the stationary bike 3 times a week for 30 minutes each. That and I stopped drinking soda at work.
It's not much but it's a life style not a diet. I'll slowly lose weight and in 9-10 months I'll be 25 pounds lighter. I have to work on eating healthier also but I draw the line at veggie corn dogs!
If you're not working you are not moving as much as normal so you intake has to be adjusted. Exercise cures alot of evils but you already know this.
Oh I would tell your g/f that she was right and for that you'll let her be on top tonight!
Take care,
Doug
