Well it is one year latter and nothing. My weight is now 237 and my doctor is treating me as pre-diabetic. I did not follows last years plan. In fact, when I got back I went back into my bad habits. I worked out here and there but didn't follow any plan.
Last visit, the doctor basically said I had type II Diabetes but I could control my numbers with the right diet and medication. Also said that I could loose about 30 pounds and exercise more and that would really help.
Here are my numbers:
Wt 237, BP 140/95 pls 60, A1C 7.74 ( needs to be under 7 or about 6), Liver enzymes were in the normal range ( Last few times they were above normal probably from drinking to much).
The doctor has just put me Januvia for high blood sugar. I take medications for high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
I asked for a Testosterone test. It came back low. I know if I am going to have good exercise results I will need some testosterone. So had Doc prescribe me a testosterone topical cream that a local compound pharmacist makes.
I did not follow through with this Blog so that I could help myself keep on track! That will change.
SO...........I AM COMMITTED! I MUST CHANGE ! I MUST LOOSE WEIGHT AND MAKE BETTER FOOD AND DRINK CHOICES!..........AND I WILL!!!!!
PLAN: Exercise more, eat low carb / high protein, drink less alcohol.
Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my life! and the rest of my life will thank me for it!
Tomorrow starts my 3 week Jump Start: This will be a period where I get into good habits. Eating and drinking will change. My body will be getting conditioned for more intense workouts. I have a trip to Panama City, Panama next week. I will try to keep it all in moderation and exercise doing something while gone.I will weigh in before I leave and then again after. I will log my exercise if I can remember how to get on this blog from my phone.
March 8th I will be 5-10 pounds lighter and ready to loose another 10 pounds. I should have a good report on my garden, and the foods I will be growing. I will be publishing my plan for the next 4 weeks to explain the foods I will be eating and when. I will and explain my exercise and adventure plan.
My goal is.......
Get my blood sugar levels in a normal range.
